Journal 8: A First American Views His Land by N. Scott Momaday

This writing by N. Scott Momaday really shows the evolution of our country in how it has evolved from the simplicity of man living with nature to what it has become today, in which Momaday believes is the destruction of the environment. He explains how the Indian kills the buffalo because he needs to eat, but he also claims the fact that the Indian can kill the buffalo only for the reason that he has a weapon that makes it easy. I think this makes readers wonder how much our use of the environment today is necessary and what is in excess because of our natural tendency to be greedy with nature.
