This paper underlines some aspects of the problem of pollution caused by methyl mercury in Northern Quebec, more specifically in the James Bay region, the ancestral lands of the Swampy Cree Nation. We distinguish between two main phases in our analysis as well as in the methods used to counteract the effects. Several studies have demonstrated the amplification of this problem since its discovery in 1970 and likewise the necessity of a multi-level intervention in order to ward off the ill effects, thereby better preserving the way of life and health of the Cree nation thus affected. Finally, this paper tends to demonstrate the necessity for a new orientation in the mercury program and even implies involving the native people who are directly concerned by this problem. Moreover, it tends to show the pertinence and need of involving multidisciplinary teams to do research at the social, cultural and economic levels and not only at the medical and environmental levels. It tends to demonstrate the importance of a holistic overall view of the problem and consequently the thinking out of solutions. |
