An extract from Joe Sacco’s graphic novel ‘Paying the Land’

The journalist and cartoonist's new book reports from the frontlines of the Canadian Northwest Territories on how Canada’s colonial legacy – from Residential Schools designed to destroy Indigenous cultures, to exploitative resource extraction ­– continues to affect the people of the Dene Nation.
