On May 16, 1986 the Winisk River flooded its banks during its spring break-up and devastated the Cree village of the Weenusk First Nation. The village of 180 inhabitants was completely destroyed by a wall of fast moving water and ice and two villagers lost their lives. This is the story of the flood and the unique accomplishments of the Weenusk First Nation in overcoming enormous obstacles to build a new community in their Promised Land at Peawanuck.
