A 1984 dam release drowned over 10,000 migrating caribou

Evidence

In 1984 came the most deadly dam-release of water, precisely during the annual migration of the George’s River caribou herd across the Canapiascau Reservoir. As a direct result, over 10,000 caribou drowned. Hydro-Quebec officials refused to accept responsibility, callously calling the deaths “mainly an act of God.” — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 344
