Hans Carlson has lived most of my life in rural New England, where he has engaged issues of land use and stewardship. He has always been interested in land, not as resource - aesthetic, material, or spiritual - but as historical and political actor in human life. This has been a lifelong focus, brought into sharp focus by decades of friendship with James Bay Cree people, in northern Quebec, and other Indigenous people in North America. He is author of Home Is The Hunter: The James Bay Cree and Their Land, as well as other articles about the Cree. His latest book, Walking Toward Moosalamoo, is an inquiry into nature and culture in New England. He has taught in the American Indian Studies Department, at the University of Minnesota, as well as at the University of Maine where I received my PhD, in 2005.
