Henry Lickers - 4th Citizens Conference on Fluoride 2010

Warning: There is a short film included in this video of cattle that are suffering from fluorosis placed there in order to illustrate what Mr. Lickers is relating. This footage may be disturbing to some of our viewers.

Mr. F. Henry Lickers

Director of the Department of Environment for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne Henry Lickers is a member of Seneca Nation, Turtle Clan, and is the Director of the Department of the Environment for the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne. For more than 25 years, Mr. Lickers has been instrumental in incorporating First Nation's people and knowledge into environmental planning and decision making. Throughout his career, Mr. Lickers has worked to address local, national, and international environmental issues with organizations including The International Joint Commission, The Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada, and the Science and Technology Advisory Council to Environment Canada. In 2008, Mr. Lickers was awarded the Annual Sandford Fleming Medal by the Royal Canadian Institute for the Advancement of Science, for his "outstanding contributions to the public understanding of science".
Mr. Lickers was the first speaker at the 4th Citizens Conference on Fluoride in 2010, held at St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York by the Fluoride Action Network. His description of the intentional fluoride poisoning of the Akwesasne area of the Mohawk people is both vivid, saddening, and sprinkled with bits of humor. His presentation is difficult to ignore.

We were forced to remove a tremendous number of comments from one of our viewers who completely dominated several of our video comment sections. We were also forced to block usage. Please realize that these areas are for comments on the video and not for a continuing dialog that would be better posted to a website such as Facebook or a personal blog. We do however welcome thoughtful responses to our video content and regret when this kind of action is necessary. We regret the inconvenience.

The effects on the cattle is heartbreaking. I saw Kathy Justus' video in the fall of 2010, Poisoned Horses.....absolutely appalling and heartbreaking as well. Thanks for posting this.
