This once was sacred land

... and now it is this.

According to Wikipedia, "For Anishinaabe who gathered and traded along portage routes surrounding the Falls, the waterfall's whirlpool was the bowl of a great peace pipe, and its mists were smoke rising to the Creator. The Falls are within the much larger unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabe people, encompassing Eastern Ontario and most of Western Quebec. The damming of the river and the presence of industry have greatly altered the lands surrounding the waterfall, and the fall's appearance."

I'll translate: "Once it was beautiful, we screwed it up."
