A native acquaintance of mine from the Blood band in Alberta said many  natives dont want chlorine in their drinking water.   Many natives have been convinced chlorine is a  deadly poison you can wash yrou clothes in but chlorinated water is simply  unfit to drink  They claim they are  offended white man foists that poison crap on them. . They want water as clean and pure as snow melt river streams as in legends of the great spirits. .   But for the most part its all a  political ploy for more money,  The money flows as long as there is no water. Money dies up when water flows.
