Nature Transformed: The Environment in American History will explore the relationship between the ways men and women have thought about their surroundings and the ways they have acted toward them. It will ask how Native Americans conceptualized nature and saw themselves in it and how they lived and are now living upon the land. It will study the shifts in perception that transformed nature from wilderness to ecosystem, and it will consider how these transformations affected the forests, plains, and deserts of North America. Nature Transformed will enable teachers to show their students how the forces that shaped the American landscape also shaped the American past. The site contains "Essays by leading scholars offering -content overviews, -discussion guidance, -bibliographies, -online resources, -primary sources, -printable images". In addition there will be a questions and answers section: teachers have the opportunity to send in questions related to the topic and have them answered by scholars in this field.
