Power Struggles: Hydro Development and First Nations in Manitoba and Quebec - Martin, Thibault; Hoffman, Steven M.

As New: This book examines the evolution of new agreements between First Nations and Inuit and the hydro corporations in Quebec and Manitoba. In the 1970s, both provinces signed so-called "modern treaties" with First Nations for the development of large hydro projects in Aboriginal territories. In recent times, however, the two provinces have diverged in their implementation, and public opinion of these agreements has ranged from celebratory to outrage. This book brings together perspective on these issues from both scholars and activists.
