Although indigenous communities may benefit from and adapt to the wage labour and training opportunities provided by new mining operations, they are also often left to navigate the complicated process of remediating the long-term ecological changes associated with industrial mining. In this regard, the mining often inscribes colonialism as a broad set of physical and ecological changes to indigenous lands. This collection examines historical and contemporary social, economic, and environmental impacts of mining on Aboriginal communities in northern Canada. Combining oral history research with intensive archival study, this work juxtaposes the perspectives of government and industry with those of local communities. The oral history and ethnographic material provides an extremely significant record of local Aboriginal perspectives on histories of mining and development in their regions."--Provided by publisher.Canadian history and environment series,1925-3702 ;3.Mineral industriesCanada, NorthernHistoryMineral industriesPolitical aspectsCanada, NorthernMineral industriesSocial aspectsCanada, NorthernMineral industriesEnvironmental aspectsCanada, NorthernMineral industriesEconomic aspectsCanada, NorthernNative peoplesCanada, NorthernHistoryOral historyCanada, NorthernElectronic books.Mineral industriesHistory.Mineral industriesPolitical aspectsMineral industriesSocial aspectsMineral industriesEnvironmental aspectsMineral industriesEconomic aspectsNative peoplesHistory.Oral history971.00497Keeling ArnSandlos John1970-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910460549503321Mining and communities in Northern Canada1939555UNINA
