The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe of Michigan has joined the efforts of Congressman Dan Kildee
in urging President Biden and the Secretary of State Blinken to work with their Canadian
counterparts to ensure Canada does not permanently store nuclear waste in the Great Lakes
Basin.
The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe has a long history of being opposed to and working with
others to eliminate the continuing threat of Low-Grade Nuclear Waste being deposited into
Mother Earth sp close to the largest fresh water repository on earth.
"It takes people from all walks of life to ensure we do the good work to protect and preserve our
most sacred gift, the gift of water (biish)," said Tribal Chief, Tim J. Davis.
The Tribe has in the past approved several resolutions to combat this issue and remains
committed to the elimination of all efforts to further threaten our environment and territories
for the greater good of humanity.
