Who is the Native American academic that proved indigenous people burned more forests?

Zizek's classic anecdote involves a Native American academic, who, during a conference in Missoula, Montana, showed Zizek a text claiming Native Americans killed more buffalos and destroyed more forests than all white people combined, to show the lie of the "angelic other" stereotype.

But as far as I know, Zizek has never actually named who the academic was that wrote that specific text, let alone named the title of the text. Does anyone know who or which work he is referring to?

Can anyone identify the music at the beginning of this 1960s film on Soviet Armenia?

54 min. / Armenian / A propaganda film from the Soviet period. Despite this, the film is valuable in itself, as it contains interesting scenes and music from that era. The film mentions 40 years of soviet rule, placing it around the 1960s.

The intro. music sounds like it could be from Arno Babajanyan, Ghazaros Saryan, Artemi Ayvazyan, Alexander Harutiunyan or another Armenian composer from the era. It is symphonic with piano and repeats towards the end of the film.
