PALGRAVE STUDIES IN MEDIA AND ENVIRONMENTAL COMMUNICATION Environmental Clashes on Native American Land Framing Environmental and Scientific Disputes Cynthia-Lou Coleman Palgrave Studies in Media and Environmental Communication Series Editors Anders Hansen School of Media, Communication and Sociology University of Leicester Leicester, UK Steve Depoe McMicken College of Arts and Sciences University of Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH, USA Drawing on both leading and emerging scholars of environmental communication, the Palgrave Studies in Media and Environmental Communication Series features books on the key roles of media and communication processes in relation to a broad range of global as well as national/local environmental issues, crises and disasters. Characteristic of the cross-disciplinary nature of environmental communication, the books showcase a broad variety of theories, methods and perspectives for the study of media and communication processes regarding the environment. Common to these is the endeavour to describe, analyse, understand and explain the centrality of media and communication processes to public and political action on the environment.

For Scott, and Megan and Rachel, and Olivia and Lincoln Teal. For my brothers and sisters, whose names my mother would holler in one breath: Becky, Jenny, Martha, Muffy, Jimmy, Ann and Tod. And for all my relatives. A cknowledgments Many thoughtful people with keen insight have shepherded me through life’s passages, and I am especially thankful for their guidance. My faculty advisors—Carroll and Cliff, and Sharon, Jack, Mike, Gary and Hemant, and Roberto and Bill—and fellow graduate students, with whom I shared countless cups of coffee and tea, bonding over statistics, methods and theory courses—Thorgerdur, Benami, Jan, Frank, Marilee and Jocelyn. A heartfelt thank you to friends and relatives who have read and reread manuscripts and grant applications, and offered comments—Rachel, Megan, Molly, Bob, George and Scott—and to my colleagues who sup- port the fellowships that steal me away from department duties—Dave, Jeff, Lauren, Lee, Erin, Brianne, Brian, David, Gisele, Kenny and Bailey. I am honored by the confidence the College has shown me, by supporting my sabbaticals, fellowships and grants—Karen, DeLys, Matt, Grant and Marvin. I appreciate the scholars who have taken me under their wing—Susanna, Ben, Scott, Stephanie, Orin and Doug. And I am especially grateful to my friends in American Studies, Indigenous Nations Studies and other arenas, who believe in the work I do—Cornel, Ted, Winston, Grace and Judy—and my pals in the commu- nity—Chuck, Jackleen, Rose, Terri and David. Special thanks to Erin and Doug, who have been collaborators and co- authors in our studies of Kennewick Man, Occidental knowledge systems and Indigenous epistemologies. I am grateful that artists Lawrence Tripoli and Nicolas Lampert shared their images with readers. I also want to acknowledge the Illinois State vii viii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS University Special Collections at the Milner Library, for permission to use images of the Sauk warrior, Black Hawk. Finally, I am indebted to the students who brave my classes. You inspire me. There are many, many of you, and a few who, recently, wrote a letter that earned me a national teaching award—Tay, Gray, Jen, Derek, Laura, Preston, Zoe, Justin, Marisa, Bailey, Elizabeth, Crystal, Samantha and Daniel.
