I Will Live for Both of Us, by Joan Scottie, Warren Bernauer, and Jack Hicks, is a first-person perspective on the experience of the Inuit people to colonialism and extraction of resources, particularly minerals and uranium mining. Scottie, senior co-author, provides a narrative history of her experience as an Inuit member, particularly in the voice of Inuit women, to the resistance of colonialism and what is now recognized as environmental injustices against her community.
