by Helene Smith

An unauthorized investigation of the authorized investigation of the Shoshone-Bannock Sun Dance pesticide poisoning at Fort Hall, Idaho. At first glance this book may appear to concern a minority group located on a small geographical site in the West. But in reality the case involves every American living under the sun. The author shows how the Bureau of Indian Affairs and the Environmental Protection Agency have set policies that have economic priorities over humanitarian ones. What all Americans need to know about pesticide and chemical abuse.America's veterans deserve our praise and support for their courageous service in giving and risking their lives in wars and conflicts fought under the flag of the United States. But the chemical and pesticide poisoning they have endured is beyond the call of duty. They and their families, burdened by the long-term effects of birth defects, etc., resulting from chemical hazards, need our support and help. We must prevent this from happening in the future.
