The book delves into the hidden toxic legacy affecting Native North America, highlighting the numerous contaminated sites that have been neglected yet play a crucial role in the nation's industrial history. It reveals how these hazardous locations, including manufacturing plants and landfills, disproportionately impact Native communities, with about 40 percent of Superfund sites situated in these areas. By examining the implications of the 1980 CERCLA and the EPA's cleanup efforts, the narrative sheds light on environmental injustices faced by Indigenous populations.

Focusing on the scientific principles of climate change, this textbook draws on extensive empirical evidence to explain weather events that signify its evolution. It delves into significant topics, including political controversies and climate policy, while incorporating Native American perspectives. Additionally, the book explores potential solutions through policy recommendations and technological innovations aimed at addressing the challenges posed by climate change.
