Muscogee Nation continues in decades-long fight against the Poarch Band of Creek Indians; More than 90,000 shelter in place following chemical plant fire in Rockdale County

from The City Lights Collective · host WABE

For two decades Muscogee Nation has been fighting for their ancestral tribal land. We hear from Raelynn Butler, the secretary for culture and Humanities for the Muscogee Nation, and attorney Mary Kathryn Nagle regarding a lawsuit against the Poarch Band of Creek Indians over their handling of sacred land dating back to 2012. Plus, a shelter-in-place advisory is now in place for more than 90,000 people in Rockdale County following a chemical fire at the BioLab plant in Conyers, Georgia. Air quality surveys done by the Environmental Protection Agency have detected levels of chlorine. Show host Rose Scott checks in with WABE’s environmental reporter Marisa Mecke and Dan Whisenhunt, the founder and editor of Decaturish.com, for the latest details.
