About the book
This volume distinguishes Indigenous environmental justice (IEJ) from the broader idea of environmental justice (EJ) and offers detailed case studies of environmental injustices in Indian Country. With essays on topics such as uranium mining on Navajo and Hopi lands, the Dakota Access Pipeline dispute at Standing Rock, and environmental cleanup efforts in Alaska, the book highlights the spiritual, physical, and financial harms of exploitative environmental policies and emphasizes the importance of self-determination and sovereignty in Indigenous victories for environmental justice.
