A different Dam....but the same story. On this week's edition, we feature more great music with a message and a profile on the story from Blackfoot Elder Margaret Plain Eagle recounting what life on and around the Pikanni Reserve downstream of the Oldman Dam. Despite challenges and concerns raised about the prospects for this Dam going back to the 70's, the Alberta government pushed ahead and paid little regard for concerns about the environmental and cultural impacts of this Dam. Sound familiar? The story is like watching a re-run movie of what has been happening with the Site C Dam...similar ecological features, heritage values and erosion of Treaty rights. Hear the underlying sadness of Mary's words, and let the music inspire you to keep standing up for what we have left of the wild flowing rivers
