White water, black gold


Produced by White Gold Productions. "Tells the story of David Lavallee's three year journey across Western Canadian watersheds in search of answers about the activities of the world's thirstiest oil industry: the Tarsands ... In the course of his journey he makes many discoveries: new science shows that water resources in an era of climate change will be increasingly scarce; First Nations people living downstream are contracting bizarre cancers; the upgrading of this oil threatens multiple river systems across Canada and the tailings ponds containing the waste by-products of the process threaten to befoul the third largest watershed in the world. Additionally, a planned pipeline across British Columbia brings fresh threats to BC Rivers and the Pacific Ocean. "White Water, Black Gold" is a sober look at the untold costs associated with developing the second largest deposit of "oil" in the world. Its conclusions are drawn from the latest science coming out of the University of Alberta and the University of Regina, as well as the viewpoints of people living downstream, such as the communities of Fort Mckay and Fort Chipewyan, as well as First Nations on the Pacific Coast.

De son côté, Léon aime jouer au hockey, mais sa communauté ne peut pas lui offrir les moyens de participer à une ligue de haut niveau. Quant à Éloïse, à l'occasion d'un travail scolaire, elle va découvrir l'histoire de son peuple, les souffrances qui l'ont accablé. Le texte présente ainsi le quotidien d'une famille autochtone en faisant des ponts avec leur histoire collective, notamment celle des pensionnats, et les secrets de famille entourant certains traumatismes. [SDM]. Le premier tome de cette série écrite par une ethnologue wendat aborde de grands pans de l'histoire autochtone à travers un drame familial réaliste. Il est également question de la frontière entre la culture autochtone et la culture des Blancs. C'est donc une excellente occasion pour donner le goût de lire à de jeunes autochtones, qui retrouveront aussi quelques phrases en langue innue. De manière plus large, la série permet d'éduquer la jeunesse aux enjeux des communautés autochtones. [SDM].
