Water is flowing once again to some farmers in southern Alberta after the Piikani First Nation shut down a vital water weir in a two-week-long protest.

The region near Granum, Alta., doesn't see a lot of rain and agriculture depends on water diverted from the Old Man River, which runs through the Piikani Nation. Every spring, the canal gates open from a weir on Piikani land, but on April 12, the Piikani closed it tight.

Heather Yourex-West explains what drew the ire of Indigenous leaders and what resolved the feud.
