recognized and have their rights adhered to. They have been raising concerns that the government and industry have failed to consult with them when it came to development projects on their land. The issues are two-fold: in the past there have been large dams built on Native territory, as they are concerned with the impacts on fish and wildlife, and the fact that it destroys rivers and jobs.

not possible without causing some environmental degradation. Construction is one of the main reasons for this, for any development to take place an area must be used efficiently to maximize space for development. A great example of this is the 3 Gorges Dam in China; this cost over $25 billion to build.

Three different articles show three different

people don’t know is what they actually are. Many fish cannot pass through the dam. This impacts their breeding and migration. While many will argue that some fish can make it through, there are still dangers for the fish on the other side. After water enters the dam, oxygen is sucked out of it. This little bit of oxygen is essential for fish to survive in the water, and without it, they suffocate and die. When a dam is put into use, pooling up water on one side, many trees drown. This then results
