      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.
