Northern Review

Description

The authors use documentary sources and statements from members of the Yellowknives Dene First Nation before various public hearings to examine the history of arsenic pollution at the Giant Mine. They cast this history as a form of "slow violence" and a historical agent of colonial dispossession for members of this Indigenous group from their traditional territories.
