The Peguis First Nation, which has been dealing with the worst flooding in the area since 1962 wants permanent flood protection for the future, similar to what towns in Southern Manitoba have.
Chief Glenn Hudson says building dikes, dams or a diversion channel would be better than having to evacuate people and repair damage from frequent flooding.
Ever since the Fisher River overflowed its banks, more than 1,400 residents have been evacuated from the reserve.
The Manitoba government said a post-flood review with First Nations leadership and the federal government will take place.
