May 9 2019. Commercial fisherman Leon Kencatch fishes with his grandson James Walker on Cedar Lake in the community of Easterville, Manitoba. Easterville is the reserve community of the Chemawawin Cree Nation, founded in 1962 after they were forcibly relocated from their original community closer to the mouth of the Saskatchewan River during the construction of the Grand Rapids Dam which flooded 202,343 hectares of land. The new site of Easterville created a number of problems for the community. The soil quality was poor and thin as a thick layer of limestone covered the area. This also prevented the community from building pit toilets and eventually the well water the community depended upon was contaminated with human waste. In 1971 mercury contamination to Cedar Lake caused by the flooding forced the government to shut down the fishing industry many in the community depended upon. While the trapping industry declined due to the loss of beaver and muskrat habitat.
