First Nation occupies generating station

The Pimicikamak Cree Nation of Manitoba has been occupying a hydroelectric generating station since last Thursday.

Tribal members won't leave the Manitoba Hydro station until provincial officials agree to a meeting. At issue is compensation for flooding caused by hydroelectric projects.

Four tribes have settled their claims but the Pimicikamak Cree have not. A tribal official said road blockades are being planned if no progress is reported.
