| Pimicikamak Show Of Power At Jenpeg Dam | 03 May 07 |
 On Thursday, May 10, from 10 am to 2 pm, Pimicikamak and its supporters, including other indigenous parties to the Manitoba Northern Flood Agreement, will stage a show of power at Jenpeg dam near Cross Lake.The Northern Flood Agreement was signed with 5 northern Manitoba Nations in the 1970's after massive flooding and other damages from construction of Manitoba Hydro's Churchill River Diversion. Pimicikamak is mobilizing support and action for justice, and for protection of the boreal waters and environment. This is the next stage in Pimicikamak's fight to take back what has been and continues to be taken from it - its rights, its lands, waters, way of life, and dignity. Pimicikamak is puttting the governments of Manitoba and Canada, the political parties running in the Manitoba election to be held May 22, and Manitoba Hydro, on notice of its demands for just resolutions and its intent to see this through. (See attachments.) All signatories to the Northern Flood Agreement, and Manitoba political parties are expected to respond during the current Manitoba election.
