Electric Beads and Our Dam Future: Hydroelectric Development on Cree Territory by Ramona Neckoway Hemispheric Institute; Neckoway, Ramona journal, revista student work, trabajo de estudiantes, trabalho de estudantes Americas, Américas, Américas North America, Norteamérica ENG: I was driving to my community, Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation (NCN) in northern Manitoba, under dire circumstances. There had just been a suicide, and my children\'s great-grandfather lay clinging to life in a hospital in a nearby town. I felt a plethora of emotions on the nine-hour drive home. My initial sense of confusion and grief would be replaced with frustration and anger as I neared my destination. I couldn\'t help but wonder at what point our values were sacrificed for material gain. As I passed the community of Grand Rapids, where I had recently worked on documenting appalling stories related to hydroelectric development, resentment, perhaps what Native Studies professor Dr. Kulchyski refers to as \'the legacy of hatred,\' came over me.
