Abstract: |
Along with George, five other representatives from the Innu communities in Labrador were visiting the La Grande hydroelectric complex in Cree territory of the James Bay region of Québec. Hydro-Québec (HQ) was showing us their hospitality and demonstrating what they had learned from all of their efforts to decrease the environmental effects of the developments at La Grande. They wished to help the Innu people understand some of the realities of such a project, good and bad. The reason: HQ is proposing this time to build another series of such facilities in partnership with Newfoundland/Labrador Hydro in the Churchill and La Romaine watersheds of southern Labrador and Québec — in Innu territory. |
