About the book

People of the Moose River Basin is a people’s history written by over 40 of the people who have called it home. Its purpose is for them to pass of stories to the younger people.

They have lived during a period when major, healthy rivers had been dammed and polluted for hydro power; forests had been harvested for The New York Times newsprint; and mines had been built for extracting wealth from underground.During this time, the old fur-trading posts became towns that are homes for the younger people, where for the Elders, home was the bush. So much has changed, and now it is not only Ililiwak (Cree) and Anishinaabe (Ojibwa) people living here.

We invite the new generations to learn how things like schools, their towns, and their daily activities got this way. And we invite them to plan for generations to come.
