Five years ago floods ravaged the St. Marten First Nation in Manitoba.

Thousands were forced to flee their homes and several First Nations were completely destroyed.

Many lost their homes and traditions.

Others have lost their lives.

Incredibly, many are still in temporary accomodations waiting for a home.

This is the termination process manifest. This, Mr. Chrétein, is what happens when people “just move”. This is Manitoba’s Trail of Tears.
