This visualization shows how efforts to combat, redress, and prevent the contamination of landscapes can become entangled with/index other forms of social toxicity. In this case, the toxin is white supremacy. The recreation-based struggle to preserve public lands from contamination with fossil fuels simultaneously participates in the exclusion and further subjugation of native populations in the area. Given that these populations have a stronger hold on the discourse, their narrative of fighting the good fight against the fossil fuels "conveniently erases Native histories and much contemporary Native presence," as the author points out.
