One River's story and the people who live on it...

These photos were taken about 1994 while the Mistashipu Innu were attemting to stop the building of Saint Margaret III - the third dam on the St. Margaret river, which would drop the level of the water on the Moise River, a salmon river on which the Innu depend for their lives.

The Moise...
