The Oldman dam was constructed in 1992 in response to the many droughts experienced by Southern Alberta farmers. The Blackfoot/Peigan natives protested the dam’s construction and in 1989 they were joined by a group of environmentalists and entertainers for a free concert. Here is a story from the Herald on the event.
