Indigenous Environmental Justice introduces the field of Indigenous environmental justice (IEJ) by explicitly explaining the distinctions between IEJ and EJ through a series of illustrative case studies. The authors' attention to EJ issues as 'where we live, work, go to school, play, and pray' works to expand policy makers' understanding of IEJ, acknowledges and celebrates Indigenous self-determination to combat corporate-state violations of environmental justice, and contributes to the collaborative development of more precise solutions and interventions that support decolonial, Indigenous environmental leadership." - Beth Rose Middleton Manning, author of Upstream: Trust Lands and Power on the Feather River
