Abstract

The Lesser Slave Lake Indian Regional Council represents all the Treaty 8 First Nations in Alberta. The Swan Hills has been traditional hunting and gathering territory for thousands of years. It is also famous as a spiritual centre for vision quest. The Alberta Special Waste Treatment Centre is Canada's largest hazardous waste incinerator designed to be the final destination for all the "worst of the worst" of Canada's toxic waste. Once again, the Indians are fighting to save their traditional territory and way of life. This program tells the story from their point of view.
