Read the chapter Quoting the Ancestors from the book Wisdom Sits in Places by Keith H. Basso, published in
1996 by University of New Mexico Press. The article is posted in Canvas. In a short essay ,summarize how White Mountain Apache people think about their lives and the landscape in which they are located, according to the article. In your essay, use the terms Ndee, quoting the ancestors, place-making, place-worlds, and cultural landscape. In your essay, briefly reflect on how White Mountain Apache views
of their cultural landscape compare with Hopi views, as well as Shoshone views, of their cultural landscapes (based on the Assignment 1 reading and Chapter 6 in our textbook by Oswalt). Consider why understanding Native American cultural landscapes is important in the context of debates over Indian land claims in the U.S., particularly the Shoshone land claim discussed in Chapter 6 of our textbook.
