Members of Nelson House (Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation) are becoming ill and are blaming drinking water contaminated by sewage and fecal matter, and unclean, unsafe water storage tanks.In an August 26, 2004 letter to the Regional Director General of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC), Carol Kobliski describes problems with the location and condition of the community's sewage lagoon, inaction from Chief and Council to address concerns voiced by members of the community, and water storage tanks containing dirt and green slime. On her own behalf, and on behalf of others who have become ill with Helicobacter Pylori, Ms. Kobliski is petitioning INAC to intervene and ensure that community funds are directed to address the concerns outlined in the letter.
