Dammed investigates mid‑20th‑century hydroelectric expansion around the Lake of the Woods and along the Winnipeg River, showing how power projects reshaped Indigenous territory and everyday life. It challenges the narrative of postwar prosperity by centering the experiences of Anishinaabe communities excluded from planning and decision making.

The book documents concrete harms — flooded manomin fields, lost roads, declining fish populations — and the economic and social dislocations that followed. It also traces how families and community members adapted and resisted across gendered and generational lines.

Grounded in the author’s ancestral territory and built from archival records, oral testimony, and environmental observation, the study offers a careful regional history that connects treaty promises, state policy, and local survival strategies.
