		Five hundred miles north of the US-Canadian border in the province of Manitoba, the Pimicikamak Cree Nation (PCN) of Cross Lake, Manitoba, struggle for their livelihood against what is normally regarded as a renewable and environmentally-sound form of energy: hydroelectricity.
		Three million of the acres affected by Manitoba Hydro’s periodic flooding are traditional Cross Lake lands: a land mass equal to the area of three Boundary Waters Canoe Areas of northern Minnesota.
		The flooding causes a massive erosion of banks and shorelines, a severe strain on the local river and lake wildlife populations, and a huge increase in the amount of drifting debris in the rivers as the rising water levels envelop deadwood.
