SUNY Press published this work about lessons that can be learned from the Menominee Indian Tribe about sustainable development. The Menominee story is powerful. It is not only fascinating from an historical perspective, but it also gives some hints about some of the values and ideas that need to be explored within the realization that the most important issue of our time is sustainable development. We need to bring up the economies of the third world and even in places like the Navajo Nation in New Mexico, Arizona, and Utah to create a more stable world where the individual pursuit of happiness constitutes society’s good. However, at the same time we need to protect the environment and all of the ecosystems that make up the environment. If the earth is not healthy, then all of those who depend upon the earth for their existence cannot be healthy. This book is about the Menominee Forest and how it came to be one of the marvels of the American landscape, but it is also provides a metaphor from which large lessons can be learned. Sustaining can be purchased from any online bookseller.
