Show Notes:
The Cross Lake Cree have been suffering from the effects of damming in and around their communities for over 40 years.
In the 1970s, the Northern Flood Agreement was signed in recognition of the devastation caused by the flooding but little action has followed.
Now the Cree have enlisted the support of Manitoba Hydro's customers in Minnesota.
We speak with Peter Kulchyski, Professor of Native Studies at the University of Manitoba.
