Hello Everyone,
Just returned from a meeting in Switzerland of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War where I was requested to do a presentation. At the meeting, we learned about the connection between the International Atomic Energy Agency and the World Health Organization. Our concern, from the Indigenous people present, was that our recommendation to the UN more than a year ago, requesting the WHO to come to our Regions to do studies was being ignored. We learned that any information that WHO might gather was censored by the IAEA so our request for the information would be ineffective. We are encouraging an international campaign to open up all information collected by WHO. Others who have tried to do this in the past, we were told, "disappeared." The doctors telling us this were very upset as they knew those that "disappeared."
My request to the WHO for these studies was to show that if Indigenous people were impacted by nuclear contamination in our 5-state Region, then, of course, the non-Native people were also impacted. As the State Health Board does not list any illnesses as related to nuclear contamination, then we no longer approached them. A number of years ago, Defenders of the Black Hills requested the Center for Disease Control to come to this Region to study the impacts from all the different kinds of nuclear contamination we have here, but the CDC refused as we do not have 1 million people in South Dakota.
There are 7 Ways we are impacted in this Region, not counting this new information about Chernobyl. If anyone wants a presentation on these 7 ways, please let me know and I will gladly come to give a presentation. We ask for donations for gas, and depending on how far it is, for food and lodging.
I will be giving a presentation at the USD on Tuesday evening, Sept. 21st. The SD Humanities Council is paying for the expenses at the request of an environmental group East River.
There are strong anti-nuke groups in Europe, and now this book has come out about the true facts about Chernobyl. It is information we can all use no matter where we are in the Region. I am so thankful to our friends over there, and the courageous authors of this work. Please pass it on.
