Humanity and the Natural World: Perceptions and Potential Hazards. This paper demonstrates how humanity and the natural world must coexist, in respect to the short essay by Louis Owens entitled "The American Indian Wilderness". This essay, which heavily emphasizes the need for humanity to utilize methods of living with nature rather than envisioning the natural world as a source of material goods, presents a concept that is by no means new but is almost always overlooked: Humanity's perception of the natural world as an enemy and a source of plunder will eventually lead to its downfall. 5 pgs.
