Overview
\"Our people are dying,\" Lac du Flambeau Chairman Tom Maulson said at the biennial meeting of the International Joint Commission here Sept. 23-25. \"Not only from alcohol; from cancer, from what we eat -- the deer, the fish. Those animals don't need us, we need them, and we better clean them up.\" \"On our end of the basin we're already seeing neuro-behavioral toxic effects on our children,\" said Katsi Cook, Akwesasne Mohawk, traditional midwife and researcher at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. \"A notice 'Don't eat fish' is not enough. It's a typical science response. It's like saying, 'The air is polluted, don't breathe.' What are we supposed to eat?\" Judy Pratt-Shelly, director of Red Cliff's Environmental Programs, told the conference this type of amendment is essential. \"It's too easy for people to change a law. Laws aren't going to be good enough to protect seven generations.\"
