About this title

Synopsis

Reviews the Cree Indians' struggle with the government and electric company over the damming of rivers and the confiscation of their hunting grounds, and looks at how their culture has changed from a nature-based one to a politically embroiled one

Reviews

In 1970, plans for a hydroelectric project to be located in the Cree Indians' northern Quebec hunting grounds provoked the tribe to take legal action. "Drama, suspense and human interest abound in this stirring account of a minority group's struggle to save their land and lifestyle from the encroachment of a greedy and hostile government," said PW. Illustrated.
