Some of these systems are more complex than others, but each has an internal consistency based on what people have experienced. Some cultures have been characterized as \"savage,\" or \"primitive\" and have been considered as inferior by other cultures. Some cultures have become highly \"scientific,\" based on certain accepted practices of controlling their environments. This book presents examples from cultures in Mesoamerica and North America of different ways of seeing the world. These examples may inspire readers to examine their own ways of knowing. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClara Sue Kidwell\u003c\/strong\u003e has served as associate dean for program development at Bacone college in Muskogee, Oklahoma (2011-2013), director of the American Indian Center at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2007-2011), and director of the Native American Studies program and Professor of History at the University of Oklahoma in Norman (1995- 2007).
