Louis Wolverine, 84, wants to know where the animals have gone. He began trapping around Key Lake with his father in the 1940s and continued to trap in the area for over 20 years.
A reservoir was built and the lake itself drained thirty years ago to facilitate access to the uranium deposit below.
Several spills occurred in the early 1980s, including a massive spill of approximately 100 million litres of radioactive liquid in 1984.
Mining at Key Lake ended a decade ago, but Canadian mining company stills continues to operate a mill at the site.
"I used to see lots of moose when I used to trap, and caribou, just full of them," Wolverine told the Media Co-op.
"I was there quite a few times since the year 2000 and there's hardly any moose. I never saw a moose since then."
" STOLEN LAND: It use to be called Key Lake, okay Canadian mining company ?
My late father/mother & uncles & grand parents called this once beautiful site "... hunting fishing on our traditional lands". They still call it Key Lake even after this sorry site.
