"Trouble brews in Bountiful, a community of fundamentalist Mormons scattered about the rolling valley lands south of Creston, B.C.(British Colombia, Canada)....The commune's founders moved almost 60 years ago from Alberta, seeking the splendid isolation of the Kootenay Mountains to live 'the Principle'--the practice of polygamy." (MACLEAN'S) This article examines polygamist communities in the U.S. and Canada run by the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, a Mormon sect that some accuse of "child abuse, forced marriages of underage girls, and of trafficking 'wives' across the Canada-U.S. border."
