The Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Valley Indian Reservation have long grappled with contaminants in the soil and water.
For decades , the tribes suspected that widespread illness and deaths from cancer are tied to two buildings owned by the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs .
Fuel, herbicides and other chemicals spilled onto dirt floors of the now-shuttered or demolished structures.
The BIA discovered a decades-old document with a passing mention of Agent Orange that suggests the government might have been more involved in contaminating the land than previously known.
