Description

Paying the Land is a powerful and poignant work of journalism that explores the complex relationship between indigenous communities and the natural world. Joe Sacco's latest book delves into the history of resource extraction in the Canadian Northwest Territories, revealing the devastating impact of colonialism and development on the Dene people.

Through stunning visual detail and a sweeping narrative, Sacco sheds light on the struggles of the Dene Nation, from the forced assimilation of the residential school system to the ongoing efforts to preserve their culture and way of life. With breathtaking landscapes and intimate portraits of individuals, Paying the Land is a thought-provoking exploration of the human cost of progress.

This gripping and beautifully illustrated book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the complex history of indigenous-settler relations and the ongoing struggle for environmental justice.
