This book compares the general differences between Native Americans and western world view towards resources. It will provide the nuts and bolts of a sustainability portfolio designed by indigenous peoples. This book introduces the ideas on how to link nature and society to make sustainable choices. To be sustainable, nature and its endowment needs to be linked to human behavior similar to the practices of indigenous peoples. The main goal of this book is to facilitate thinking about how to change behavior and to integrate culture intothinking and decision-processes"--Provided by publisher.
