For Indigenous communities throughout the globe, historical forerunner of colonialism, introducing new, and often disruptive, settlement patterns and economic arrangements. Although communities may benefit from, and adapt to, new wage labour and training opportunities, they are often left to navigate the complicated process of remediating long-term ecological changes associated with industrial mining.

This collection combines oral history and intense archival study to examine the social, economic, and environmental impacts of industrial mining on Indigenous communities in Northern Canada. Juxtaposing the perspectives of government and industry with those of local communities, it amplifies the voices of those who have been routinely left voiceless in the study of mining history.
