This is a shortened version of a video created by the Pimicikamak nation, documenting the discovery of one such site.

  • thats my home town

  • This is an ongoing problem, and manitoba hydro continues to deny this. they hire students to clean up their mess at minimal cost, and refuse to take preventative measures. Know your Hydro.

  • Manitoba has been hiring summer students for at least the past five years to go along the shorelines in northern Manitoba to pick up all the bones washing up on shore.

  • As a Manitoban I am embarrassed

  • This is a different picture from what Manitoba Hydro shows. It makes you think about switching on the lights.

  • Tansi

    Thanks for putting up the videos.

    Pimicimakamak is where my roots are

  • Keep on sending the message, hopefully people will understand the message. Cross Lake Power.

  • I can imagine your grief. The truth is that there is almost you can stand where at some time or another, someone died or was buried there. Bones turn to dust and the spirit lives forever.
