The series looks at cases of injustice and seeks redress for the victims. This material was prepared for a program about the unsuccessful efforts by Indians of the St. Regis reserve to have their farmland restored by the St. Lawrence Seaway Authority after the builders of the Seaway dredged silt and debris from the river bottom and dumped it on once fertile farm land. Included are interviews of farmers, officials of the Indian band, and a soil expert, Dr. Cook, who describes the problems with the soil that render it useless for farming. There are also interviews with farmers about their request crop loss payments and their criticism of unkept promises of the government.Language:EnglishNotes:Detailed holdings information: -
