William Bill Fobister remembers when things changed, seemingly overnight. The 79-year-old had grown up fishing across the sprawling English-Wabigoon River system. And the deep blue waters that lap the shores of his Ojibwe community - Asubpeeschoseewagong Netum Anishinabek, better known as Grassy Narrows - had fed his people since time immemorial. [My dad] was a commercial fisherman, and I helped him. That's how we survived, Bill recalls, sitting at a yellow picnic table in his backyard on a rainy August morning.
