The Price of Gold book

We are excited to announce the publication of The Price of Gold: Mining, Pollution, and Resistance in Yellowknife. The product of nearly 15 years of archival and community-based research on Giant Mine, The Price of Gold tells the story of how mining and pollution affected the land and health of the Yellowknives Dene and other communities in Yellowknife. It was published by McGill-Queen’s University Press in Fall 2025.
