Reviews

""The Price of Gold compels readers to confront the toxic legacies of extraction on Tatsǫ́t'ıné territory and the urgent demands of perpetual care. Sandlos and Keeling foreground community resistance and the enduring fight for environmental justice long after the rush is over."" Lianne C. Leddy, Wilfrid Laurier University ""This book is a good summary of Giant Mine from its beginning to today: an exposé of government inaction and malfeasance. It builds on archival records and adds discussion of industrialization and colonialism to provide broader context. From despair to hope, so we learn and never forget."" Kevin O’Reilly, former member of the Legislative Assembly of the Northwest Territories
