Oil and gas development has all but destroyed the traditional economy of the Lubicon Cree of northern Alberta, plunging the community into extreme poverty.
The federal and provincial governments have done nothing to help the Lubicon cope with the harm that has been done. The Lubicon don’t even receive the basic services other people in Canada take for granted, such as access to safe drinking water. The Lubicon have plans for rebuilding their community and economy, but have been unable to negotiate compensation and legal protection for their land rights.
