Treading water plight of the Manitoba First Nation flood evacuees
2014
DVD
One flood, 2100 evacuees, 90 million dollars, 3 years displaced ... and counting. In 2011, over two thousand First Nation people were forced from their homes after artificially diverted flood water swamped their communities to save the city of Winnipeg and other major urban centres. Most of the evacuees, the majority from Lake St. Martin and Little Saskatchewan First Nations, checked into Winnipeg hotels, assuming they would return to their homes within a couple of weeks. More than three years later, evacuees continue to live away from home and plans for rebuilding seem to be at a standstill.
