  • The Tale of Shoal Lake 40
    The Tale of Shoal Lake 40 Shoal Lake 40 An Ojibway reserve located approximately a two hour drive from Winnipeg and Kenora, situated on the Western shore and peninsula of Shoal Lake, located on the Ontario-Manitoba border. Moved to a Peninsula, the Peninsula Was then Cut Off In 1919 a portion of Shoal Lake, including a burial ground, was annexed (which means taken) by the city of Winnipeg and the Shoal Lake 40 residents were relocated to the peninsula. An aqueduct was dug to provide Winnipeg with water, cutting off the Peninsula and rendering Shoal Lake 40 inaccessible. A dam was built to ensure that the city’s water remained pristine, while simultaneously leaving contaminated water on the reserve’s side. The reserve is located between Shoal Lake 39, which has access to clean water, and the reservoir of clean water for the City of Winnipeg, this has been a source of grievance and caused a general feeling of being forgotten. States of emergency have been declared in the past due to a high youth suicide rate. Residents have been left to cope with the situation as best they can. Water Advisory for Over Two Decades The Shoal Lake 40 First Nation’s approximately 285 residents have been living under a water advisory for over two decades. Finding solutions to the non-potable water that feeds the reserve is compounded by issues of access, and by the fact that the community is divided by the provincial boundary between Ontario and Manitoba. Shoal Lake 40 does not even have a water treatment facility.

In Brief Water is life and needs to be respected. For the Indigenous people in Canada, there is a reciprocal and (https://www.thesolutionsjournal.com/membership) unique relationship with water. In particular, Indigenous women share a sacred connection to the spirit of water through their role as child bearers, and have particular responsibilities to protect and nurture water. The forces of colonization and the lack of services to sustain reserves (space), residential schools (relationships), and federally imposed Elected Council systems (governance) have led to a disconnect in the intergenerational transfer of knowledge surrounding water.

  • SHOAL LAKE 40 DRINKING WATER - BACKGROUND ASSESSMENT Information for the Ontario Regional Director General
    SHOAL LAKE 40 DRINKING WATER - BACKGROUND ASSESSMENT Information for the Ontario Regional Director General DATE: 31 January 2018 SUMMARY Shoal Lake 40 has been on a boil water advisory for 20 years, having received considerable media attention and a personal visit from PM Justin Trudeau in 2016. Completion of Shoal Lake’s ‘Freedom Road’ (expected to finish by 2019) is a crucial factor in making development of water services on the cut-off peninsula feasible. Economic development of Shoal Lake is enforced by the 1989 “Tripartite Agreement” between the City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, and the Federal Government, sharing the cost of the road. The desire for complete independence means Shoal Lake seeks its own water treatment system, rather than being integrated with neighboring reserves. There is considerable unease in the community about government inaction as there have been numerous feasibility studies and negotiations in the past with no progress since the current pumping systems were installed in 1996. BACKGROUND Shoal Lake 40 is an Ojibway reserve approximately two hour’s drive from Winnipeg and Kenora and is situated on the Western shore and peninsula of Shoal Lake, located on the Ontario-Manitoba border. In 1919 a portion of Shoal Lake, including a burial ground, was annexed by the city of Winnipeg and the locals were relocated to the peninsula. An aqueduct was dug to provide Winnipeg with water, cutting off the Peninsula and rendering Shoal Lake 40 inaccessible. In the last twenty years Shoal Lake has been on a Boil Water Advisory. Water has been shipped in by Chief Erwin Redsky weekly from Kenora Ontario in his truck.

My English name is Eli Mandamin. My Anishinaabe name is Nee-Shoo-Be-Tung. In English it means '/ ¿ - « - S ' two little bears standing. I am a young Chief and I am here to represent the concerns of the people of the Shoal Lake 39 Ojibway First Nation. Our struggle to retain our customary way of life and our culture has reached a crisis point. We live in a region of Canada which has been noted for its resource abundance. It is also noted for its relative ecological good health compared to other areas of Canada which are facing a more severe environmental crisis. Yet given our relative isolation, for more than a century^ we have focused on the on-going suppression of our culture. Non-aboriginal governments have been unable to understand the importance of our lands and our waters as the source of our way of life. You could say thaf|he waters of Shoal Lake are the blood of our culture!^ Since the early part of this century the Province of Manijaba and the Province of Ontario have^xploited our waters and suppressed our peopleT^ln the early part of this century the Province of Manitoba constructed an aqueduct from Shoal Lake to the City of Winnipeg and a railway to maintain this aqueduct.
