I am trying to find the works of a researcher (I think an anthropologist) who wrote on indigenous land management in California. In particular, he argued that this management was not as spatially widespread pre-colonization as many researchers have recently argued. My memory is that his first or last name may start with a "V".
Any ideas?
not sure about the scholar you had in mind, but recommend having a look at Hugh Brody's work on Northwestern Pacific tribes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Brody
M. Kat Anderson wrote Tending the Wild: Native American Knowledge and the Management of California's Natural Resources in the early 2000s, but hers is an argument about management techniques over centuries and, even, millennia. So, I do not think, she is the one you look for.
I will be glad to know who he or she is, once you find out.
All the best in your quest,
Pedro
