Abstract
This video documentary is the final presentation for the Spring 2022 course RELG 382/HONP 301 "Indigenous Voices Today." Twelve students joined Dr. Mark Clatterbuck (Religion Dept.) in partnering with Chief Vincent Mann, Turtle Clan Ramapough, in their ongoing efforts to address the environmental and public health impacts of living on a toxic Superfund Site in Upper Ringwood, New Jersey. The students worked on two projects that are critical to the Turtle Clan's efforts in achieving justice: [1] establishing a tribal archive, in collaboration with MSU, to digitize and preserve essential records related to the industrial contamination and failed federal clean-up efforts of the Tribe's homeland; and [2] laying the groundwork for an Indigenous well-briety clinic in the Tribe's community. Here in this final presentation, students describe their community-based work and summarize their findings.
