Born at a traditional Inuit camp in what is now Nunavut, Joan
Scottie has spent decades protecting the Inuit hunting way of life,
most famously with her long battle against the uranium mining
industry. Twice, Scottie and her community of Baker Lake
successfully stopped a proposed uranium mine. Working with
geographer Warren Bernauer and social scientist Jack Hicks, Scottie
here tells the history of her community's decades-long fight
against uranium mining. Scottie's I Will Live for Both of Us is a
reflection on recent political and environmental history and a call
for a future in which Inuit traditional laws and values are
respected and upheld. Drawing on Scottie's rich and storied life,
together with document research by Bernauer and Hicks, their book
brings the perspective of a hunter, Elder, grandmother, and
community organizer to bear on important political developments and
conflicts in the Canadian Arctic since the Second World War. In
addition to telling the story of her community's struggle against
the uranium industry, I Will Live for Both of Us discusses gender
relations in traditional Inuit camps, the emotional dimensions of
colonial oppression, Inuit experiences with residential schools,
the politics of gold mining, and Inuit traditional laws regarding
the land and animals. A collaboration between three committed
activists, I Will Live for Both of Us provides key insights into
Inuit history, Indigenous politics, resource management, and the
nuclear industry.
