When the Kenney Dam was built in the 1950s, the Nechako River was forever changed. The Stellat'en and Saik'uz Nations embarked on a groundbreaking legal proceeding against the Canadian government and Rio Tinto Alcan that lasted over a decade—a battle that continues today. Following community members living day to day on the river while they take on powerful institutions, NECHAKO is an urgent call to action to restore a river and a way of life.
