Focusing on the Wet'suwet'en nation's struggle against pipeline development, the book delves into the complexities of Indigenous legalities and colonial control. It provides historical context on the relationship between Indigenous peoples and colonialism, scrutinizing regulatory processes and the challenges of reconciling Indigeneity with development. The author highlights the ongoing dynamics of resistance and reconciliation, emphasizing the inequalities faced by Indigenous communities in their fight for territory and jurisdiction against colonial governments and corporations.

Our world is characterized by scarcity and surfeit: too much carbon, pollution and concentrated wealth; a shortage of livelihoods, safe water and security.
