Concluding Remarks.This book explores how the media frame environmental and scientific disputes faced by American Indian communities. Most people will never know what it is like to live on an Indian reservation in North America, or what it means to identify as an American Indian. However, when conflicts embroil Indigenous folk, as shown by the protests over a crude oil pipeline in 2016 and 2017, camera crews and reporters descend on “the rez” to cover the event. The focus of the book is how stories frame clashes in Indian Country surrounding environmental and scientific disputes, such as the Dakota Access Pipeline construction, and the discovery of an ancient skeleton in Washington. The narratives told over social media and news programs often fail to capture the issues of key importance to Native Americans, such as sovereignty: the right to self- governance. The book offers insight into how the history of Indian-settler relations sets the stage for modern clashes, and examines American Indian knowledge systems, and how they take a back seat to mainstream approaches to science in discourse.Palgrave studies in media and environmental communication.Indians in mass mediaIndians of North AmericaEthnic identityIndians of North AmericaCommunicationMass media and the environmentScience in mass mediaUnited StatesStudy and teachingIndians in mass media.Indians of North AmericaEthnic identity.Indians of North AmericaCommunication.Mass media and the environment.Science in mass media.305.897073Coleman Cynthia-Louauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut978506MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910483231503321Environmental Clashes on Native American Land2230328UNINA
