thanks for sharing this. I grew up in Chibougamau in the seventies. we used to live at Campbell Point at the Campbell mines site on Lake Doree. I used to see the cree live off the land. I really feel for the ones affected .Its a shame to see the land disrespected. I went to school with some of them, Mathew Cooncome was one of them. it brings back a lot of memories , I used to fish as a kid out on some of the lakes. the last time I was there was in 1980.

Reminds me of the recent Land of Lakes butter packaging issue. The old logo was of an Indian maiden. They removed the Indian from the logo but kept the land

I enjoyed the video and understood some of the cree words, good to see the brotherhood, sad to see the destruction of land and the cree people feel the sadness to see our lands and way of life that is disappearing, pretty soon we will not be able to eat fish or other animals, this is our sad future...

Moving metal thru an electrical field creates electrical current. AN aluminum boat becomes a battery
Wonderful production. Hydroelectric power has negative and positive effects on the land, people and animals. The Cree, like most Indian nations as well as other peoples, are predisposed to alcohol consumption.

@gr1mrea9er824 жыл бұрын
It wasn't the Cree that needed the electricity... The hydro dams built in the Northwestern part of Quebec were part of the Canadian Governments plan to establish a long term power infrastructure, in order to supply the Southern and eastern, more populated parts of the province of Quebec, with power.

@myriamhill83473 жыл бұрын
@Lars Grimstad Canada sells most of the electricity produced in the Cree territory to the USA. It powers most of the North East, from Maine to New York, and maybe more. It is a shame that this power is used to produce heat, increasing global warming in the polar region. I visited Waskaganish in Feb 2017, and it was warmer than in Connecticut! The Crees joked, asking if I had brought the heat with me to keep myself warm.

@RommelsAsparagusАй бұрын
The English Hudson Bay company dealt with them first, and so they used to be primarily Anglican, and still wear somewhat Victorian wedding attire during ceremonies. They're mostly pentacostal now. The neighboring Attikamekw (formerly tete de boule), also speak an Algonquin family language but traded fur with the French first and speak French. So it's historical.
