PFAS CONTAMINATION AND THE SCOURGE OF CANCER IN ODAWA NATION
Members of the Odawa nation are among the hardest hit by PFAS pollution, and are leading the fight for clean water and air for all.
Mary Burks in the story is my mother. She fought hard but this was a battle that she could not win. Please share this--it needs to be known. This will be my 1st Mother's Day without her. She was murdered and Emmet County was so glib and uncaring.
