Introduction: Sourcing chapter submissions pertaining to the interplay between First Nations, environmental ethics and the development of Alberta’s oil sands.

Overall objectives: The book will provide high-quality research that explores environmental ethics and the development of Alberta’s oil sands. The main focus of the book is to provide insights into current resistance from both Canada’s First Nations and their supporters. The book will host topics such as Indigenous phenomenology and environmentalism, environmental ethics (both for and against oil sands development) which take stewardship into account, and general discussions regarding environmental impacts. Please e-mail all inquiries and proposal submissions to john@jcharltonpublishing.com
