THURSDAY, AUGUST 1, 2002 Pacific Northwest tribes and their members are struggling with a new federal study which finds that consuming large amounts of fish can lead to cancer and other health problems.

The four tribes with treaty rights on the river debate whether to warn members not to eat a central part of their culture. Get the Story:
