Joseph Heath, General Counsel for the Onondaga Nation, will explain how mining and industry significantly altered the complex hydrology and geology of the watershed that "is the life blood of the Onondaga". This session will provide with an excellent introduction to one of the challenges the Nation, whose traditional lands we are on, is currently facing.
