Résumé
In the span of a generation Native Americans have become a model for ecologists in the United States. The Indian has entered the realm of ecological fancy in a confused intermingling of naive spirituality, historical presuppositions, and anthropological ignorance. In fact, ethnohistory teaches us how difficult it is to recapture the respective visions of nature of yesterday 's Indian and today's Western Man.
