Description:

This paper presents a collaboration with Indigenous Nlaka ’pamux communities to develop a study to address the effects of mining dust on soapberry ( Shepherdia canadensis ), which is an important medicinal and food resource for local Nlaka ’pamux people. The objectives were to compare element con- centrations in samples of washed and unwashed leaves and berries relative to soil samples collected around the mine and in a reference area. Samples were analyzed for metal concentrations using induc- tively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Spatial models showed that six metals (Al, Ba, Cu, Fe,Pb, and Sr) had signi ﬁcant elevated concentrations near the mine compared to farther away, though con- centrations were generally within ranges reported for human consumption. There was no correspondencewith soil metal concentrations, suggesting that elevated metal concentrations in leaves and berries near themine were due to dust rather than uptake from local soils. Washing of leaves and berries reduced concen-trations by between 13 and 48%, depending on the metal. The study illustrates a model with global rele-vance for how mines can work with communities to address complex social –ecological problems.
