Description: "Dr.'s Hankard and Charlton have put together a critically informed work that seeks to explore the range of challenges associated with living downstream from Fort McMurray Oil Sands mining operations. The authors contributing to this book include Indigenous and non-Indigenous authors, First Nation knowledge keepers, Elders and knowledgeable academics. The book is unique because three of the authors (Michael Hankard, Jennifer Dockstater and Kevin Fitzmaurice) have invested substantial portions of their lives (collectively, about 60 years) learning and practicing traditional teachings carried by another of the authors (Elder/Dr. Michael Thrasher). Another author (Isaac Murdoch) has followed traditional teachings essentially his entire life. The effect of traditional teachings on our own lives and its influence on our writing, thinking and doing remains significant."--
