Health advisories restrict fish consumption most burdensome to Indigenous diet staples.

Evidence

Annually since 1993, Minnesota’s Department of Health has advised a consumption limit of just one walleye per week for seasonal fish consumers and one walleye a month for year-round fish consumers at many lakes on or near the White Earth, Red Lake, Leech Lake, and Mille Lacs Lake reservations, which are extensively fished by Indigenous people. Surveys and tribal data indicate that while non-Indians take more fish from White Earth than Indians do, most White Earth Anishinaabeg consume more fish per capita than non-Indians. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 672
