Synopsis

In 2015, Joe Sacco traveled to the Canadian Northwest Territories to meet the Dene, an Indigenous people. This book explores their history, traditions, and the impact of European contact. It details how the discovery of oil and gold led to the methodical appropriation of their lands through treaties, often under exploitative terms. Today, hydraulic fracturing further threatens their environment and way of life.
