- "This book is about the politics of hydroelectric dam construction as it concerns the Native communities which are inevitably located in the vast hinterland areas where such development takes place. The emphasis is on historic continuity. The process of hydro development in this century, and particularly the manner in which Indian and Metis people have been physically and bureaucratically from their water resources, is paralleled by the treaty and scrip processes of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.". -- Preface, p. [xi].
- This book makes a "detailed examination of the experience with hydro development of three Native communities -- South Indian Lake and Chemawawin (now Easterville) in Manitoba and Cumberland House in Saskatchewan". -- inside front dust jacket blurb.
