THIS POWERFUL PLACE: A CBC DOCUMENTARY BY JODY PORTER ON CBC's IDEAS NOV 16th

just got this in my email, thought I would send out further to the masses, well the masses that read this blog...

This Powerful Place is about a dispute over High Falls near Beardmore
Ontario, back in the early 1990s.

First Nations people in the area (mostly Poplar Point Ojibway Nation)
protested when they learned a hydro dam was going to be built at the
falls.

But the development went ahead.

In the process, the remains of a 400 year old medicine man were
unearthed. The project halted for a brief time so the archeology
could be done. The white people thought if they just re-buried
the bones somewhere else it would solve the 'problem' of the land
being sacred to the Ojibway people.

It didn't.

Trust me, it's better as a radio documentary than an email.

Thanks for your interest.
