At the outset of H. G. Wells’s The War of the Worlds (1898), Wells asks his English readers to compare the Martian invasion of Earth with the Europeans’ genocidal invasion of the Tasmanians, thus demanding that the colonizers imagine themselves as the colonized, or the about-to-be-colonized. But in Wells this reversal of perspective entails something more, because the analogy rests on the logic prevalent in contemporary anthropology that the indigenous, primitive other’s present is the colonizer’s own past. Wells’s Martians invading England are like Europeans in Tasmania not just because they are arrogant colonialists invading a technologically inferior civilization, but also because, with their hypertrophied brains and prosthetic machines, they are a version of the human race’s own future.

The confrontation of humans and Martians is thus a kind of anachronism, an incongruous co-habitation of the same moment by people and artifacts from different times. But this anachronism is the mark of anthropological difference, that is, the way late-nineteenth-century anthropology conceptualized the play of identity and difference between the scientific observer and the anthropological subject-both human, but inhabiting different moments in the history of civilization. As George Stocking puts it in his intellectual history of Victorian anthropology, Victorian anthropologists, while expressing shock at the devastating effects of European contact on the Tasmanians, were able to adopt an apologetic tone about it because they understood the Tasmanians as “living representatives of the early Stone Age,” and thus their “extinction was simply a matter of … placing the Tasmanians back into the dead prehistoric world where they belonged” (282-83). The trope of the savage as a remnant of the past unites such authoritative and influential works as Lewis Henry Morgan’s Ancient Society (1877), where the kinship structures of contemporaneous American Indians and Polynesian islanders are read as evidence of “our” past, with Sigmund Freud’s Totem and Taboo (1913), where the sexual practices of “primitive” societies are interpreted as developmental stages leading to the mature sexuality of the West. Johannes Fabian has argued that the repression or denial of the real contemporaneity of so-called savage cultures with that of Western explorers, colonizers, and settlers is one of the pervasive, foundational assumptions of modern anthropology in general. The way colonialism made space into time gave the globe a geography not just of climates and cultures but of stages of human development that could confront and evaluate one another.

The anachronistic structure of anthropological difference is one of the key features that links emergent science fiction to colonialism. The crucial point is the way it sets into motion a vacillation between fantastic desires and critical estrangement that corresponds to the double-edged effects of the exotic. Robert Stafford, in an excellent essay on “Scientific Exploration and Empire” in the Oxford History of the British Empire, writes that, by the last decades of the century, “absorption in overseas wilderness represented a form of time travel” for the British explorer and, more to the point, for the reading public who seized upon the primitive, abundant, unzoned spaces described in the narratives of exploration as a veritable “fiefdom, calling new worlds into being to redress the balance of the old” (313, 315). Thus when Verne, Wells, and others wrote of voyages underground, under the sea, and into the heavens for the readers of the age of imperialism, the otherworldliness of the colonies provided a new kind of legibility and significance to an ancient plot. Colonial commerce and imperial politics often turned the marvelous voyage into a fantasy of appropriation alluding to real objects and real effects that pervaded and transformed life in the homelands. At the same time, the strange destinations of such voyages now also referred to a centuries-old project of cognitive appropriation, a reading of the exotic other that made possible, and perhaps even necessary, a rereading of oneself.

similar clam gardens were used here on the east coast by the wabanaki, especially by passamaquoddy in sipayik!

they also traditionally hunted porpoise and seals. these fishing and hunting rights were stripped away by the white settler government. wabanaki, like many other indigenous peoples of america, were forced to go through indian agents in order to have their needs met.

before settlers came, people were allowed to hunt without needing to ask permission, because it was understood we would only take what we needed. though hunting and fishing licenses are now free for wabanaki people in maine, applying for one is still necessary. the government still must be asked.

look at the case of peter newell vs. the state of maine—

i could go on. the point is that our autonomy was stolen, just as much as our land, children, and traditional life ways. we pick up the pieces. this land was not empty, it was a careful balance. we are shot in the foot and then asked why we can’t just pull our communities up by the bootstraps.

wabanaki territory does not have the worst of it, but the generational trauma is so real, and the damage to traditional foodways is real. the disruption of when and where wabanaki are allowed to hunt on their own lands, the poisoning of the rivers and fish in them. the seals and porpoise no longer allowed to be hunted. foodways are so important to communities not only as means of survival, but as ways culture is held, remembered, and bodies are nourished.

every tribe on turtle island had their own ways of doing things— i think generalizations by and large do no favors, though i understand the purpose of the post. as OP said— we, generally speaking, have been ecological knowledge keepers, stewards of the land we live on.

robin wall kimmerer makes a great point in her book, braiding sweetgrass:

“On one side of the world were people whose relationship with the living world was shaped by Skywoman, who created a garden for the well-being of all. On the other side was another woman with a garden and a tree. But for tasting its fruit, she was banished from the garden and the gates clanged shut behind her. That mother of men was made to wander in the wilderness and earn her bread by the sweat of her brow, not by filling her mouth with the sweet juicy fruits that bend the branches low. In order to eat, she was instructed to subdue the wilderness into which she was cast.

Same species, same earth, different stories. Like Creation stories everywhere, cosmologies are a source of identity and orientation to the world. They tell us who we are. We are inevitably shaped by them no matter how distant they may be from our consciousness. One story leads to the generous embrace of the living world, the other to banishment. One woman is our ancestral gardener, a cocreator of the good green world that would be the home of her descendants. The other was an exile, just passing through an alien world on a rough road to her real home in heaven.

And then they met—the offspring of Skywoman and the children of Eve—and the land around us bears the scars of that meeting, the echoes of our stories. They say that hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and I can only imagine the conversation between Eve and Skywoman: “Sister, you got the short end of the stick . . .”

What I was taught growing up: Wild edible plants and animals were just so naturally abundant that the indigenous people of my area, namely western Washington state, didn't have to develop agriculture and could just easily forage/hunt for all their needs.

The first pebble in what would become a landslide: Native peoples practiced intentional fire, which kept the trees from growing over the camas praire.

The next: PNW native peoples intentionally planted and cultivated forest gardens, and we can still see the increase in biodiversity where these gardens were today.

The next: We have an oak prairie savanna ecosystem that was intentionally maintained via intentional fire (which they were banned from doing for like, 100 years and we're just now starting to do again), and this ecosystem is disappearing as Douglas firs spread, invasive species take over, and land is turned into European-style agricultural systems.

The Land Slide: Actually, the native peoples had a complex agricultural and food processing system that allowed them to meet all their needs throughout the year, including storing food for the long, wet, dark winter. They collected a wide variety of plant foods (along with the salmon, deer, and other animals they hunted), from seaweeds to roots to berries, and they also managed these food systems via not only burning, but pruning, weeding, planting, digging/tilling, selectively harvesting root crops so that smaller ones were left behind to grow and the biggest were left to reseed, and careful harvesting at particular times for each species that both ensured their perennial (!) crops would continue thriving and that harvest occurred at the best time for the best quality food. American settlers were willfully ignorant of the complex agricultural system, because being thus allowed them to claim the land wasn't being used. Native peoples were actively managing the ecosystem to produce their food, in a sustainable manner that increased biodiversity, thus benefiting not only themselves but other species as well.

So that's cool. If you want to read more, I suggest "Ancient Pathways, Ancestral Knowledge: Ethnobotany and Ecological Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples of Northwestern North America" by Nancy J. Turner

National Parks in Rajasthan: Discovering the Desert's Natural Wonders

Rajasthan's National Parks are a collection of natural treasures. The parks are rich in biodiversity, and Rajasthan is thought to be home to a diverse array of plants and animals despite its terrain. With our Rajasthan Tour Packages, explore the wilderness of India's majestic state.

Renowned for its abundant tiger population, Rajasthan's Ranthambore National Park is one of the country's best places to see tigers. But Rajasthan is home to another incredible place to see tigers: Keoladeo National Park, also called Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary.

This wetland sanctuary in Rajasthan is a haven for thousands of migrating birds who visit it year. The various bird species visit this location for vacation, just as depicted in the film Migration. Why should the fun be limited to humans? Not birds, then? One of the most well-known national parks in Rajasthan is Keoladeo National Park, which is a very magical location.

National Parks In Rajasthan

1. Bharatpur National Park

Currently known as the Keoladeo National Park in Rajasthan, Bharatpur National Park is a well-known avifauna sanctuary and a bird-watching heaven detailed among UNESCO’s World Heritage sites. The 29 km resource is domestically referred to as Ghana and is a mosaic of dry grasslands, woodlands, forest swamps, and wetlands. 

Known for its fame, this National Park in Rajasthan is home to some of the world's most abundant bird populations. This man-made structure is well-known for being the nesting site for migratory and local birds, particularly aquatic birds. What excites you about this location? This area was originally used by the British and royalty as a shooting area for ducks, but in 1971 it was turned into a refuge for birds and other wildlife.

A distinct way to uncover the wildlife at the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary is the Wildlife Safari here, which takes you through the coronary heart of the forests. If you wish to spot birds more carefully Rickshaw Safari is the amazing choice for you.

2. Sariska National Park In Rajasthan

One of Rajasthan's best national parks is Sariska National Park. It is also a natural sanctuary in Alwar that offers a mix of history and nature with a verdant landscape peppered with ruins and historic landmarks. The sanctuary, which was formerly the Alwar state's royal hunting grounds, is today a prime tiger habitat, with its deep forests supporting a wide variety of wildlife. Many people are aware of its accomplishment in relocating and reintroducing the magnificent Bengal tiger.

3. Desert National Park In Rajasthan

Situated in close proximity to Jaisalmer city, Desert National Park is widely recognized as one of Rajasthan's most renowned national parks in India. 20% of this amazing national park's terrain is made up of dunes.

Here, you can catch a variety of migratory and indigenous species, such as sand grouse, falcons, vultures, and spotted eagles. It's possible that you will also get to see the Great Indian Bustard, which is endangered. Because it's a military location, the roads are kept in excellent condition and are usually empty of visitors, making your stay very comfortable.

Situated in the golden regions of Jaisalmer, the Desert National Park is a fascinating retreat and one of the most daring destinations to explore. This particular desert habitat was created in 1980 and allows you to see Rajasthan's intricate wildlife world while also developing a lovely tale of survival inside the parched regions of the state.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, Rajasthan's national parks are a veritable gold mine of natural treasures, exhibiting the area's astounding biodiversity and breathtaking scenery. These parks offer a distinctive experience for environment lovers and animal enthusiasts alike, ranging from the parched stretches of the Thar Desert to verdant oases abounding with species. Investigating these protected places highlights the value of conservation and illustrates the complex web of life in Rajasthan's many ecosystems. Traveling through the national parks of Rajasthan offers a profound experience of the desert's wild character in addition to exploring the natural beauties of the region.

Handprints in Stone

Lemei Rock, located in the Indian Heaven Wilderness of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, serves as the literal leaping-off point of one legend. An evil brave, the story goes, chased a beautiful woman to the peak of Lemei Rock. Trapped, the desperate woman looked down to see a lava flow far below. Rather than submit to the brave, she jumped to her death in the fiery lava. She landed feet first and then fell forward, burying her hands in the liquid rock. He hand- and footprints were permanently left in the rock as a testament to her sacrifice.

Today evidence of the legend can be found in a unique display at the Trout Lake Ranger District visitors center. Mounted on the wall is a large plaster cast of a piece of rock that includes a set of hand-and footprints. The cast was made from an imprint in the basalt rock that makes up the floor of Goose Lake. The real prints are hidden under the waters of the lake, and their origin is still debated.

Some people believe that, as in the legend, the prints were formed several thousand years ago when the site of the lake was a large lava flow. Pioneers noted the prints in the late 1800s, and over the years, geologists and engineers have examined them. Some experts proclaimed the prints to be carvings. Others said they were real, insisting the handprints included fingerprints. Geologists say that if the prints were real, they could range from ten thousand to two thousand years old.

Like the Aztec and Inca, many Pacific Northwest natives studied the phases of the sun, moon, and seasons. There are several locations in the Northwest where the change of seasons was celebrated. Many years ago someone may have knelt at the edge of Goose Lake during the winter solstice, since Native Americans gathered there only in the summer and fall. Looking east, the person would be able to see the sun rise over a high mountain, signaling the change in seasons. Perhaps over time, that same individual returned to cut holes in the rock in the shape of handprints and footprints, showing others where to place themselves to experience the same phenomena.

Goose Lake is a volcanic sinkhole, and in the '30s, the outlet at the bottom of the lake was dammed up. The imprints disappeared as the water level rose. In the 1990s, Larry King, of the American Rock Art Research Association, spent several days floating in a raft, scanning the floor of the lake through a metal tube with a glass bottom. He located the prints under several feet of water and than worked with Forest Service personnel to build a small coffer dam around them. After pumping out the water, they made a plaster cast of the prints. The dam was then removed, and the prints were left to themselves once again, hidden under water and a covering of mud and grass.

The plaster cast King made is the one that now hangs on the wall of the Trout Lake visitor center. In Weird Washington's opinion, it is not a carving. The footprints resemble either soft-soled shoes or moccasins, and both the footprints and handprints are over an inch deep into the rock. As with many legends, you'll have to go there and decide for yourself. Be sure to stop by Goose Lake too, as the ghost of a Native American woman sometimes appears on its shores, combing her long hair.
