The Dene have lived in the vast Mackenzie River Valley since time immemorial, by their account. To the Dene, the land owns them, not the other way around, and it is central to their livelihood and very way of being.
But the subarctic Canadian Northwest Territories are home to valuable resources, including oil, gas, and diamonds. With mining came jobs and investment, but also road-building, pipelines, and toxic waste, which scarred the landscape, and alcohol, drugs, and debt, which deformed a way of life.

BRONTE'S INFERNAL AGENDA
(W) Craig Hurd-McKenny (A) Rick Geary
Living in the isolation of the Parsonage house in Haworth Village, the four Brontë children make a startling discovery: a doorway to another world! What seems like paradise soon reveals itself to be just as dark as the real world. Can the siblings resist the allure of Angria, or will they be seduced-and destroyed-by it? Either way, their spirits, their beliefs and their family bond will be tested to the limit!
