When the Kenney Dam was built in the 1950s, the Nechako River was forever changed. The Stellat’en and Saik’uz Nations embarked on a groundbreaking legal proceeding against the Canadian government and Rio Tinto Alcan that lasted over a decade—a battle that continues today.
After seven decades of resistance, two Indigenous Nations reach a turning point in their historic legal fight to reclaim the Nechako River and the way of life it once sustained.
