Paying the Land by Joe Sacco

5.0

"The government pulled people out of the bush to put their children in schools, and they graduated from their independence on the land into a money-based economy with no jobs."

This is the first of Joe Sacco's works that I've read and I am very impressed by his story telling, journalism and artistry. I learned so much about the past and present of the Dene people in the Northwest Territories through the rich stories spoken by the people themselves.
