However, a complete history of Canada's involvement in the Manhattan project and the development of the atomic bomb has been thwarted by restrictions on classified documents. [This book] overcomes these restrictions in an innovative and unconventional history that assembles a narrative from fragments -- interviews, indigenous stories, archives, and physical remains -- while questioning whether it is possible to grasp the past by sifting through what remains. Uncovering the story of the radioactive ore's route from mine to weapon of mass destruction, Peter van Wyck considers the legacy of this history for the Dene community and inquires into trauma, landscape, disaster, and memory. ... weaves together crucial missing pieces about the beginning of the Atomic Age in startling and unexpected ways."--Book jacket. 606 $aUranium mines and mining$zNorthwest Territories$zPort Radium$xHistory 606 $aAtomic bomb$xHistory 606 $aChipewyan Indians$zNorthwest Territories$zGreat Bear Lake$xSocial conditions 606 $aNuclear industry$zCanada$xHistory 615 0$aUranium mines and mining$xHistory. 615 0$aAtomic bomb$xHistory. 615 0$aChipewyan Indians$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aNuclear industry$xHistory. 676 $a622/.34932097193 700 $aVan Wyck$b Peter C$01488850 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910790440203321 996 $aThe highway of the atom$93709258 997 $aUNINA
