UNBC screening Indigenous documentary about BC Hydro and forced relocation – My Prince George Now
The documentary is called DƏNE YI’INJETL, or The Scattering of Man.
It has been on a tour of film festivals after six years in production, and tells the story of the Tsay Keh Dene Nation being forced and flooded out of their land by BC Hydro in the 60’s.
“It is an opportunity for us to share a bit of our story about what happened, starting in the 1960’s until now with the creation of the W.A.C. Bennet Dam in northern B.C.” said Luke Gleeson, the director of The Scattering of Man.
In 1968, the dam flooded the Rocky Mountain Trench, which was the home of the Tsay Keh Dene people for as long as history is recorded.
