Scottie, senior co-author, provides a narrative history of her experience as an Inuit member, particularly in the voice of Inuit women, to the resistance of colonialism and what is now recognized as environmental injustices against her community. This book succeeds in achieving the seamless blend of solid historical documentation contributed by co-authors Bernauer and Hicks with the authentic voice of the community. Like many other environmental injustices against indigenous people, this is a detailed account of the resource extractions and legacy of mining that threaten a community. This book is part of a larger body of history and literature that illustrate how environmental justice communities are exploited not just of their natural resources...
