	abstract = {<p>Smith (2011a) proposed a model of environmental engineering which includes six discrete categories of resource management believed to be universal within small-scale, pre-industrial societies. Through examination of the resource management practices of the Kayap{\'o} in the Amazon Basin and the Blackfoot on the Northwestern Plains, this paper will test the validity of Smith\&rsquo;s model. The evidence presented will show that, with slight variations due to differences in mobility, Smith\&rsquo;s model is largely appropriate. Additionally, although the management and use of \&ldquo;wild\&rdquo; or semi-domesticated resources is often seen as a step on the road to agriculture, resource management and the domestication of landscape can, in fact, be a specifically chosen subsistence strategy in and of itself. This type of resource management can also continue after agriculture has been adopted by a group, particularly if wild species continue to be an important part of a group\&rsquo;s subsistence regime.</p>},
