Tataskweyak Cree Nation, Canada

Tataskweyak Cree Nation (Cree: ᑕᑕᐢᑿᔭᕽ) became a signatory to Treaty 5 in 1908, though their ancestors lived in the area of the Nelson and Churchill Rivers for millennia. Tataskweyak Cree Nation was negatively impacted by multiple Manitoba Hydro structures. Tataskweyak Elder, Eunice Beardy, stated that “Hydro has done what residential schools were unable to do, it has destroyed our culture.” (Photo credit: Tataskweyak Cree Nation.
