Katsi’s persistence, along with the work of Henry Lickers and Jim Ransom, former director of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribes Environmental Office, evolved into a bioaccumulative analysis of the entire food chain at Akwesasne, from fish to wildlife to breast milk. The collaborative epidemiological research project that ultimately resulted from Katsi’s work was one of a scant 11 Superfund studies funded by the U.S. Congress, and the only one focused on human health. — Winona LaDuke, All Our Relations, 123
