Project
AP027.S1.D33
Description:
The material in this project series contains racist language. Please take care when viewing this material and seek help from trusted sources if needed. This project series documents a study on the relocation of the First Nations community of South Indian Lake in Manitoba. The community was relocated due to planned flooding that would be caused by the diversion of the Churchill River for a hydroelectric development. Part of the hydro project included works on Nelson River which would flood the area around the southeast shore of Southern Indian Lake. The study assessed the relocation site for the community and included a proposed plan which outlined economic, social, and educational programmes to be integrated along with the physical development of the region. The proposed plan was not implemented.
