The Saint-Lawrence River was used as a direct entry point for European colonizers as they made their way through and across the land that was eventually renamed Canada and the United States. Their arrival and use of the waterway eventually facilitated industrialization and its resulting ecological destruction, the extraction and depletion of the land's natural resources, and violence against Indigenous peoples that still continues today. In this fourth episode of On Interdependence, we examine how our use of the River damages the natural systems that rely on this large body of water.
