We have collected six in-depth essays into The Sacred Land Reader, which you can download.

Please send us your suggested readings! Also, send us any corrections to the items listed here. While reading can enhance one’s self-knowledge and cultural and environmental awareness, nothing takes the place of simply becoming aware of the significant places in one’s life - and being there. It is meant to suggest starting places for one’s own inquiry, and to inspire consideration of alternative narratives about personal, cultural and political “space” in our society. What follows is a collection of readings from different disciplines and cultural perspectives that illuminates the consciousness of the Earth, traditional wisdom - both Indian and non-Indian - on the relationship between culture and nature, and a variety of political and historical interpretations of land use and the environmental movement.
