Often when Native nations assert their treaty rights and sovereignty, they are confronted with a backlash from their neighbors, who are fearful of losing control of the natural resources. Yet, when both groups are faced with an outside threat to their common environment—such as mines, dams, or an oil pipeline—these communities have unexpectedly joined together to protect the resources. Some regions of the United States with the most intense conflicts were transformed into areas with the deepest cooperation between tribes and local farmers, ranchers, and fishers to defend sacred land and water. Unlikely Alliances explores this evolution from conflict to cooperation through place-based case studies in the Pacific Northwest, Great Basin, Northern Plains, and Great Lakes regions during the 1970s through the 2010s. These case studies suggest that a deep love of place can begin to overcome even the bitterest divides.
A Thousand Pieces of Paradise is an ecological history of property and a cultural history of rural ecosystems set in one of the Midwest’s most historically significant regions, the Kickapoo River Valley. Whether examining the national war on soil erosion, Amish migration, a Corps of Engineers dam project, or Native American land claims, Lynne Heasley traces the history of modern American property debates. Her book holds powerful lessons for rural communities seeking to reconcile competing values about land and their place in it.
The action being assessed is to establish airspace in the present Gandy Range Extension Military Operations Area/Air Traffic Control Assigned Airspace Area (MOA/ATCAAA) and adjoining restricted airspace for conducting supersonic flight training. Supersonic flights will be limited to elevations above 5,000 feet above ground level. Military aircraft, primarily F-16 aircraft assigned to Hill Air Force Base, propose to fly up to 1,050 supersonic sorties each month in this airspace. The combination of the Gandy Range and the smaller adjoining restricted airspace are judged to be the preferred alternative considered in addressing the need for additional supersonic flight approved airspace. The most significant environmental impact associated with the proposed action is that due to the generation of sonic booms. The land area beneath the proposed airspace is predominantly BLM land, but does have an estimated 350 residents. Areas beneath the most active portions of the airspace should still experience A-weighted day-night sound levels of less than 65 decibels; levels generally accepted as being suitable for residential purposes. Past studies predict minimal impact on animals and future plans in the area.
