Green Green Water Director Dawn Mikkelson responds to website, "Looking at the website, it looks like a grassroots activist site. However after reading the information on this site, which is largely misleading and inaccurate, it was not a surprise to discover that the domain is registered to Manitoba Hydro. I'm honestly surprised and mildly flattered that they would take the time and energy to create this site, but saddened that the cost going into this site could have been used to settle damage claims with members of the Northern First Nation communities of Manitoba." Manitoba Hydro owns the domains www.greengreenwaterbiased.com, www.greengreenwaterbiased.net and www.greengreenwaterbiased.ca.
At the end of Green Green Water, the film states “24 August 2006, Jim Moore, a vocal opponent of Wuskwatim, beat all three in the election.” This was the election to become Chief of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation. After a year in office, Chief Moore contacted the film’s director asking that the film be changed stating, “My Council and I believe that sustainable economic development like Wuskwatim is important to the future success of our young and quickly growing community. Since the election we have been working to ensure our people realize maximum benefits from this project.”
