Kazim Ali was born to Indian parents who moved to Pakistan following the Partition .From there they moved to London, where the author was born, and eventually to Winnipeg. His father was an engineer and was hired to work on a hydro electric plant in northern Manitoba. They, and some members of their greater family, lived in a settlement of pre-fab houses among the members of the Pimichipamuk community. This is a unique memoir weaving in his childhood connection to the land and the ecological repercussions of the dam. The loss of stream habitat and silt build- up affected the whole food chain resulting in the loss of fishing and hunting. The author befriended and interviewed many Indigenous people and relates their ongoing struggles with issues such as trying to get a hospital built.. Kazim is an able writer and researcher. In addition to having a deep attachment to this area he also has a knack for introducing the people of Cross Lake and their challenging lives. I was lucky to somehow have stumbled upon this book.
