Overview
 
 
Sacred Landscapes provides the reader with an opportunity to explore the sanctity of our environment, illustrating the connection between landscapes and mindscapes.  First Nations perspectives are presented, as well as perspectives from non-Aboriginal authors working with the Inuit, Métis, and the First Nations as co-researchers, through the stories told by ancient artifacts, and with literature and videos produced by Aboriginal authors.  Papers explore four perspectives of Sacred Landscapes: sanctity of resources, the meaning of ancient sites and ceremonies today, theoretical examination of landscapes and mindscapes, and examples of protecting and coping with change.  Authors discuss the importance of ancient cultural, spiritual and physical meaning of landscapes and mindscapes to Indigenous populations.
