Human Health

Here you will find information relating to the affects of natural resource development on human health. Resources provided include articles relating to how human may change in response to a development project; including information on environmental contaminants and subsequent health factors due to overexposure of contaminated consumables.

This is an especially important area considering our tribal peoples dependence on our land, waters, plants and animals to provide us with our core nutritional needs.
