Throughout its history as region, territory, and state, visitors and inhabitants have pointed to the mountains, forests, and wildlife that characterize its natural landscape, serving as both the lure and mainstay. From the first communities of indigenous people, to the Ute, and later, to its Euro-American explorers and settlers, the region's land and animal inhabitants provided sustenance and identity. Anglo settlers envisioned a western landscape filled with promise and as the building block to success. However, people quickly realized that water, above all another natural features, determined their prospects and fate. In 1890, Hubert Howe Bancroft concluded, "For with all its numerous streams...Colorado is a dry country." 1 His comment came at a formative moment, a period bridging the gap between settlers' initial efforts at individual and cooperative irrigation, state control of water, and federal reclamation. Like most residents of the state, the people that called southwest Colorado home relied on natural resources for their livelihood. Utilizing water for human endeavors proved to be a traumatic, frustrating, and constant struggle that would not come to any relatively equitable conclusion until the end of the twentieth century. 2 Almost every group of people that passed through or settled in the Dolores River Valley of southwest Colorado used its water resources. The centuries-old practice of using and diverting the rivers and streams of the area culminated in the construction of the Dolores Project beginning in the late-1970s through the mid-1990s. Conflict, negotiation, and accommodation characterized the undertaking as divergent groups of people reconciled different interests and aspirations. The ambitious project serves as an ideal example of the way Federal reclamation 3.

Yet, there is still much room for improvement in assessment processes to ensure adequate recognition of Indigenous perspectives and Indigenous knowledge systems. This article discusses the process used in creating the Indigenous Peoples, Land, and Resources NCA chapter by a team comprised of tribal members, agencies, academics, and nongovernmental organizations, who worked together to solicit, collect, and synthesize traditional knowledges and data from a diverse array of Indigenous communities across the US.

His dissertation focuses on the Flathead (Salish and Kootenai), Blackfeet, and Fort Peck (Sioux and Assiniboine) reservations and the social, cultural, economic, and environmental repercussions of natural resource utilization (water and irrigation, farming, mining, transportation and railroads, timbering, and tourism) from 1885 to 1945..

Climate change is and will affect the quantity and quality of resources tribes depend upon to perpetuate their cultures and livelihoods. Climate impacts on forests are expected to directly affect culturally important fungi, plant and animal species, in turn affecting tribal sovereignty, culture, and economy. This article examines the climate impacts on forests and the resulting effects on tribal cultures and resources. To understand potential adaptive strategies to climate change, the article also explores traditional ecological knowledge and historical tribal adaptive approaches in resource management, and contemporary examples of research and tribal practices related to forestry, invasive species, traditional use of fire and tribal-federal coordination on resource management projects. The article concludes by summarizing tribal adaptive strategies to climate change and considerations for strengthening the federal-tribal relationship to address climate change impacts to forests and tribal valued resources.
