Dams and Native Peoples

 Tina Loo studies the impact of  hydropower projects on native people in Canada, and here she talks with the Old Mole's Laurie Mercier about how the techno-perspective of policy makers blinds them to the impacts of their projects on life in the areas where they are  located.    Professor Loo will be appearing next week (Nov. 6-7)  in Vancouver, WA at a major conference about dams -- Reversing the Flow: Big Dams, Power, and People in Global Perspective.
