Thank you.
That's really exactly what's in our hearts and our minds—we don't have that deeper understanding. We don't know if it's airborne, if it's coming from the land, or if it's in the water. It's really true that it's impacting our health beyond a way that we can even identify possible solutions. For us that's what's really frightening, and I hope people really understand that this inaction is literally taking the lives of our smallest communities. Our lived communities or residencies are divided into four areas. Soon one of those villages will be a ghost town. That's how fast these toxins are moving. We can't keep up, and that's when we think—and highlight—that if we don't move now and make some immediate responses and have immediate screening to take care of our community, we may lose a whole generation.
That's how we think about things back here in Snuneymuxw.
