Manni Utanam - Nittassinan, and power...

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...

Protesting by fishing in traditional ways... if they are going to kill all the salmon in a hydroelectric dam, how can they tell us we can't drift net? In the bow, folk singer and hunter, Philip McKenzie, then Philomene McKenzie and Bobby...

A good tasting protest... ( we also had Carabou roasted over a fire )

    police
  • No, There are differences between the US and China, but, with 2 million folks in jail, we may ask ourselves the question... when do we realize we are living in a police state? Here are some photographs from BEFORE the "Patriot Act" Shortly after the incident with the student and the tank in China, we see what would have happened in New York City. The following photographs are from a police action to remove squaters from a building in which they had lived for years.

  • TSQLES1
  • Someone sits in front of the tank. That stopped the tanks in China for hours... New York...
  • tsquare

  • I always think of this day when I think of the Goelette's of Ille au Coudre... there where many ... perhaps 14 wrecks on the island in rather good condition. The islanders burned them all, when the government of Canada refused grants to preserve them... ouch. There is likely more to the story than that, that is as much as I was told. Here is my model of the Amanda Transport sailing off Ille au Coudre pointing towards the Laurentian Mountains...
  • STLAUR
  • My model nearly done, sailing on the St. Laurence, just off the beach in front of the Amanda Transport... before the wreck was burned...
