She watched many people die from cancer, and battled it herself while she was in college.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2007, she\u2019s worked with the Indigenous Environmental Network as Native Energy and Climate Campaign organizer, focused on educating people about the environmental, social, and health impacts of fracking. She helped her Fort Berthold community prevent a solid waste disposal pit from being placed nearby, and also kept\u00a0wastewater injection sites from being placed too close to water sources.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What to expect in 2016:<\/strong> Mossett wants to find out if the rise in asthma and other health issues in certain indigenous communities is related to fracking\u2019s impact on water and air quality. She\u2019s also working on founding a nonprofit that teaches food sovereignty and encourages reservations in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota to adopt renewables.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power to the women:<\/strong> Mossett\u2019s tribal leaders are all male, and she\u2019s often in disagreement with their decisions. She sees more women stepping forward to fight, especially for their health. That ranges from raising awareness about breast cancer and its relationship to toxic chemicals, to the rise in domestic violence on her reservation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA big part of the problem we have in this world is an imbalance of power with men and women,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying that as a feminist, but as a realist and person of common sense.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the leaders shaping green in 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54839989,"featured_media":490328,"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"coauthors":[1],"class_list":["post-317538","grist-50-profiles","type-grist-50-profiles","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","grist-50-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.2 (Yoast SEO v27.2) -
