BC Hydro decided to build a dam on the Peace River in northeastern British Columbia. But the First nations intensely reject.

As the population grows so fast, need of the electricity increases at the same time. BC Hydro catches the great opportunity to develop hydroelectricity. But a strong external factor, the opposition from First Nations people, stops the plan. To respect culture and history, First nation people want to keep the habitat. They are willing to support some small projects but obviously the 8-billion scheme is out of range. As a result, cost of BC Hydro to construct another dam will increase because it needs to explore new place. And this will take not only more capital, but also time.

With the development of technology, more conflicts come between the new ear and the First Nations. No body wants to give up profit or make concession. People also want to keep both cultural heritage and convenient modern life. What we need to do is to balance.
