In this presentation, Dr. Lianne Leddy will share her research on the ways in which settler extractive forces compromised Anishinaabe land and water in the Cold War period. Using archival and oral history methods, Leddy will also emphasize how Indigenous political leaders contended with uranium mining and its legacies over a forty year period. This presentation is based on Leddy’s book, Serpent River Resurgence: Confronting Uranium Mining at Elliot Lake, a history of extraction that resonates in other Indigenous homelands.
