IVPodcast Ep. 70 | Chronic Wasting Disease 

Souta and a small team of people with working dogs have been visiting various sampling sites searching for Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and environmental stressors on The Blackfeet Nation. Together they scan creeks, rivers, and other areas for mink and otter scat that will be lab tested for heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, covid-19, and flame retardants. Once results are received, data is mapped out to ensure the community living in these areas are aware of the potential dangers of using and consuming sacred plants for medicine and other uses.  Learn more about what can be done about CWD.
