Middleton presents cases of Native American tribes using land trusts to protect territory that is culturally significant to them. Covering Native American land conservation organizations, collaborations between tribes and land trusts, and tribes and the National Resources Conservation Services conservation tools, she discusses such examples as the InterTribal Sinkyone Wilderness Council in California, the Little Traverse Bay Bands of Odawa Indians in Michigan, the Kachemak Heritage Land Trust and Nushagak-Mulchatna Wood-Tikchik Land Trust in Alaska, and land purchases and fee-to-trust considerations for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina.
