INNU PADDLING IN PROTEST
WebPosted Aug 29 2000 9:12 AM EDT
SHESHATSHIU, NFLD.--Fifteen people from Shetshatshiu will begin a
protest paddle on the Churchill River on Tuesday.
The Innu plan to paddle six canoes from Churchill Falls downstream to
Muskrat Falls. Bart Penashue says he's making the 250-kilometre trip to
oppose further development of the Churchill River.
The paddlers will go through areas that could be flooded because of
hydro-electric dams. Penashue says flooding would submerge land that
animals and the Innu, have used for generations.
The Innu have held the protest paddle for the past three summers, ever
since Premier Brian Tobin and Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard first
started talking about development.
The two premiers plan to meet again this week to revive Lower Churchill
River talks.
