Dammed

"Dammed: The Politics of Loss and Survival in Anishinaabe Territory" examines Canada's hydroelectric development in the Lake of the Woods area, highlighting its impacts on Indigenous communities along the Winnipeg River. The book reveals how infrastructure projects prioritized settler populations while disregarding the health, economy, and treaty rights of the Anishinabeg, leading to environmental and social upheaval. Through a blend of historical records, oral histories, and personal reflections, the author explores Indigenous responses to these changes and invites reflection on colonialism and resilience in Indigenous territories.
