to Native Nations and Ethnic Cultures
The Oneida Nation is a co-trustee in the federally-led version of the
Natural Resources Damage Assessment, under the leadership of the U.S. Fish
& Wildlife Service. The Nation has a special cultural interest in the
natural resources which have been harmed, because the Oneida people have
traditionally harvested fish from Duck Creek, and can no longer consume
the fish due to PCB contamination. In addition, many Oneida hunters traditionally
harvested local waterfowl and other wild game now contaminated with PCBs. |
