For kayakers, it feeds an adrenaline obsession. But where the Wabigoon once nourished the Grassy Narrows First Nations, today the walleye and pickerel do more harm than good.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout the 1960s, the Dryden paper mill dumped nearly ten tons of mercury into the Wabigoon River.

From Alzheimer\u2019s to Kennedy\u2019s Disease to the loss of a resource and a way of life, the physical and spiritual health of her people continues to suffer.<\/p>\n<p>Drawn to its whitewater, a group of kayakers never thought to ask about the Wabigoon&#8217;s history.
