'In this issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies we present a diversity of articles. Michael Rowland considers the revival of the caricature of the ‘noble savage’— or ‘ecologically noble savage’ existing in harmony with nature—that he has identified in some recent publications on environmental issues, and discusses negative implications of the concept. In doing so, he faces the possibility that such a critique might be seen as an attack on indigeneity, but is bolstered by the observation that his criticisms are shared by some Indigenous Australian scholars.'
