		<description><![CDATA[The Great Plains is a challenging place for visitors to make sense of, and this collection of chapters reveals a rich and timely tapestry of often complicated regional cultural activities, especially because much of the analysis of Great Plains regional cultural practices has never been collected in one place. Environmental extremes, the forcible removal of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Plains writers, poets, novelists, and nonfiction authors reveal a rich tension between a romantic belief in community and a profound sense of endless potential wasted against natural and cultural environments. From early exploration journals and migrant diaries to present‐day accounts, Stacy Coyle argues that the landscape, the biology, and the botany of the place have [...]]]></description>

Amanda Rees offers a sense of Plains folklife and the varying ways in which folklorists worked to understand the life of the folk.

		<description><![CDATA[Film and theatrical representations of the Plains have long held in tension a complicated set of themes such as the relationship between nature and culture, the relationship between its Euro‐American and Native populations, and political violence surrounding the Civil War and reveal a fascinating visual record, interpretation, and reinterpretation of the Great Plains. The drama [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In his examination of ecology and environment, John Opie tells the story of a 6,000‐year‐old grassland. The environmental characteristics that define the Plains cover one‐fifth of the lower forty‐eight states and include the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas, as well as eastern Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. Opie explores a number of major periods in the life [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Like Martens and Ramsey, William Tsutsui and Marjorie Swann argue that the Great Plains region does not reveal a single style of art but instead several distinctive elements and common concerns. Native American traditions have been a powerful shaper of state artistic identity in the Plains, especially in states with larger Native populations, Oklahoma and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Though Steve Martens and Ronald Ramsay do not make claims for a specific regional architecture, they reveal Great Plains built space as humble, modest, restrained, and presenting a beautiful aesthetic. The Great Plains has hosted built environments that utilize regionally grown or quarried materials: grasses, earthen‐walled buildings, sod huts, local stone, petrified wood, and brick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[During this period, the Great Plains was understood and represented in terms of its physical and environmental characteristics. The environmental constraints that dominated the region&#8217;s migrants in the nineteenth century were a primary lens through which to understand the region. This environmental lens drew upon climate, physiognomy, flora, and fauna to distinguish itself from other [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today, according to surveys, the last place American and international tourists seek to explore is the Great Plains. Indeed, if tourists have to travel through this region, they seek to fly over it or drive through at night, and regardless of how they manage to move through this space, they are always in a hurry.

		<description><![CDATA[Since the earliest settlement on the Plains, the region&#8217;s population has been in flux. For example, evidence suggests that the first human occupation of the Plains occurred at the end of the last ice age (around 10,000 b.c.e.). However, between 5000 and 2000 b.c.e. a long and severe drought made the region uninhabitable. In the [...]]]></description>
