Description

This qualitative study assesses the impact of Sarnia's 'chemical valley' on the health and well-being of Aamjiwnaang First Nation residents. Findings revealed that while residents' perceptions of the therapeutic nature of Mother Earth remained strong, the contaminated landscape was having an impact on the ability of residents to relate to Mother Earth.
