[2] Leddy grew up in Elliot Lake and is a member of Serpent River First Nation.
[3] Serpent River Resurgence characterizes the uranium industry at Elliot Lake as a form of "Cold War colonialism," given the connection between mining in the area and American nuclear weapons production and the impacts of the industry on the Serpent River First Nation.
