On the show this week, Chris Hedges talks to comics journalist Joe Sacco about his new book, “Paying the Land.” In the book Sacco travels to the frozen Canadian Northwest Territories to reveal the Dene people in conflict over the costs and benefits of the resource extraction industry and development. The Dene have lived in the vast Mackenzie River Valley since time immemorial, by their account. To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being.

Congratulations to Joe, it looks like beautiful work.
I would like to see a lot more stories and historical events depicted in this form.
It would make them more accessible to folks who struggle with dense texts or quickly lose interest in wordy tomes.
You neglect to mention the American treatment of the Dene in the States. Known as the Navajo.
