To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being. But the subarctic Canadian Northwest Territories are home to valuable resources, including oil, gas, and diamonds. With mining came jobs and investment, but also road-building, pipelines, and toxic waste, which scarred the landscape, and alcohol, drugs, and debt, which deformed a way of life. In Paying the Land, Joe Sacco travels the frozen North to reveal a people in conflict over the costs and benefits of development. The mining boom is only the latest assault on indigenous culture: Sacco recounts the shattering impact of a residential school system that aimed to "remove the Indian from the child"; the destructive process that drove the Dene from the bush into settlements and turned them into wage laborers; the government land claims stacked against the Dene Nation; and their uphill efforts to revive a wounded culture. Against a vast and gorgeous landscape that dwarfs all human scale, Paying the Land lends an ear to trappers and chiefs, activists and priests, to tell a sweeping story about money, dependency, loss, and culture-recounted in stunning visual detail by one of the greatest cartoonists alive"--|cProvided by publisher. 650 0 Chipewyan Indians|zNorthwest Territories|zMackenzie River Valley|xSocial conditions|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 9 Indians, Treatment of|zNorthwest Territories|zMackenzie River Valley|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 9 Indians, Treatment of.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00970120 651 7 Northwest Territories|zMackenzie River Valley.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01274554 655 0 Graphic novels. 655 7 Comic books, strips, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423722 655 7 Nonfiction comics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01921721 655 7 Social issue comics.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst02008995 655 7 Graphic novels.|2lcgft 655 7 Comics (Graphic works)|2lcgft 655 7 Social issue comics.|2lcgft 655 7 Nonfiction comics.|2lcgft 690 7 Indigenous peoples, Treatment of|zNorthwest Territories |zMackenzie River Valley|vComic books, strips, etc.|2local DEI term 776 08 |iOnline version:|aSacco, Joe,|tPaying the land|bFirst edition.|dNew York : Metropolitan Books, 2020. |z9781627799027|w(DLC) 2019053377 914 FARM273664 994 C0|bWHP
