In the book Good for Nothing, Nipishish and his community are concerned about the development that is taking place in their community without their consultation. Ask students: Can you think of something that has happened in your community where you have been in a similar position (e.g., privatization of beaches, clear-cutting, park removals, etc.)? What kinds of changes to your town would you like to see and what would you like to remain the same? Are there changes happening now that you do not agree with?
