The problems have been apparent for quite a while. I seem to remember CBC doing a piece on the village a few years back. The Alberta government supposedly did a study some years ago which purported to show the place had normal cancer rates but that report is now hotly contested by the local health authority's own statistics. The actual source of the contamination still isn't known. And yes, several of the natives have managed to get well paid jobs in the tar sands projects so they're of mixed views on what to do. Either way it's essential the Alberta government gets to the bottom of the controversy and does whatever is necessary to protect these people.
