In this powerful episode, co-hosts Santana and Haley sit down with Chief Beverly Cook of the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe, to discuss the toxic legacy of industrial contamination along the St. Lawrence River. They explore how pollution from General Motors, Reynolds Metals, and Alcoa Aluminum led to dangerously high levels of PCBs in the water—and how that contamination ultimately made its way into women's breast milk. Chief Cook shares powerful insight on the intergenerational impacts of environmental harm and the urgent need for trauma informed practices & responses.
