Powerline, Part I: Masters In Our Own Home
from Outside/In · host NHPR
This is part one of our series about how a company, with all of the force of a colonial culture behind it, tried to use its power to push original occupants—its indigenous people—to one side. It’s also the story of how that effort led to something that has become its own kind of revolution in Canada: native people pushing to regain power over their own lives and culture. And it’s a story about the environmental benefits and human costs of clean energy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
