Enjoy this spectacular wild river while you can!
A
deal was negotiated between the Quebec Government and the Grand
Council of the Crees of Quebec in October 2001 which would open the way for
the Rupert River to be diverted
by late 2009
for a hydro-electric power project by Quebec Hydro - the
controversial James Bay 2 project. The deal was approved
by the Cree in Feb 2002.
It must be noted that
Native People have traditionally seen themselves as
custodians of the Earth, a role given to them by the
Creator.
