Acknowledgements

Foremost, we wish to thank the participants at the original Edmonton workshop in 2014, including especially the contributors to this volume, who continued to be supportive of the long, and sometimes winding, road that this project took from its inception.

Special gratitude is given to Melanie Marvin, formerly with the Department of History and Classics at the University of Alberta, for doing much of the organizational work for the workshop in 2014. We also thank Hereward Longley for his work as a research assistant on this book. We are thankful to the family of Tobasonakwut Peter Kinew, and Marcia Ruby at Alternatives, for allowing us to reprint Kinew’s article (Chapter 7).

We also gratefully acknowledge the generous financial support from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, the Rachel Carson Center for Environment and Society, the Network in Canadian History & Environment, and both the Department of History and Classics and the Department of Sociology at the University of Alberta.
