Angus Bear Interview on Hudson's Bay Smelting and Mining Company

Abstract

Angus discusses his time with the Hudson's Bay Mining and Smelting company. He explains the destruction of Flin Flon lake, as well as discrimination regarding resource revenue sharing. The creation of the HBC Mine in Flin Flon disrupted the environment and economy (subsistence patterns) of the Indigenous peoples within the region, making it significantly more difficult to participate in traditional land use (hunting, fishing, etc.)
