Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The Indians affected by the flooding of the Grand Coulee Dam were not adequately compensated for their lost lands and resources. The construction of the dam led to the inundation of tribal fishing sites and villages, significantly impacting their way of life, and the compensation provided was not sufficient to cover the losses experienced by the tribes.
