September 17, 2026 | Oinpegitjoig & Natoaganeg
First Nations moose harvesters in Wildlife Management Zones 7 and 8 are invited to attend an upcoming session about Anqotum Resource Management’s study on pesticide exposure in tia’m (moose). The study will test liver samples collected during the fall 2026 harvest for DDT, glyphosate, and their metabolites.
Harvesters can attend one of two sessions on September 17 from 10am-12pm at Pabineau Band Hall in Oinpegitjoig, or from 2pm-4pm at the Anqotum Building in Natoaganeg. Participants can learn more about the study, share their observations, and pick up a sample kit. Sample kits are limited and available on a first come, first served basis. Harvesters who collect and return a liver sample will receive a $50 gas card.
