Around for more now because you have a church going where the ice should melting after they can begin to come ashore. Come to reform are going to sink or swim they shoot or float around bridges. Are coming for. Them to make it. Its utterly breathtaking to see the polar bears in their Natural Environment but its also kind of sad when you consider that just a few decades ago they would have an os right up to the edge of the village now its hundreds of kilometers away. Scientists estimate that there are about 25000 polar bears left in the wild here in the u. S. They listed as a threatens. Bases and they might be extinct in alaska by 2050.

The tovey can it surrounds or at the center of a battle between the go away and conservation. Less than 200 kilometers from here is the countrys most productive oil field put out by. This is the trans alaskan pipeline which traverses 3 mountain ranges and more than 500. 00 rivers and streams across icy tundra from the top to the bottom of alaska to deliver oil to americans and of course thats what its all about delivering energy to a hungry night sion which even now continues to increase its consumption of crude oil. As the oil field begins to run lawyer donald trump has big plans to open up and walk. But not without a fight. Im on my way to make the Indigenous People leading the opposition. The the good cheer i made up of 15 communities across alaska and canada. This. Is seal skin then a dead demented is coordinating the campaign from the central alaskan city of fear bags being. Killed there. Our ancestors lived and survived off this land for thousands of years and now we have a government coming and saying that you can destroy you what weve held sacred for so long were not only being attacked by this government but were being attacked by Climate Change and i worry i worry about my children survival everything that i know now i cannot know and thats why i think its important that we use our voices. Most. Aptly named settlement on the age of the arctic so. The only way to get here is by. Union. Its home to about 150 people. From. Everything in their community. And prices a high. People here rely on hunting the caribou to get them through the long winter months. When i 1st harvest my 1st caribou i was 9. Even at a young age they started teaching us only take what you need. Thats when i was really introduced to you know this fight you know the protect these you know checked our land. While hunting is a rite of passage the tribes young men like general john see themselves as custody ins of the land and animals slander set aside for us and were doing our job you know protect you know as lanky peers. We handed out you know we cut it up into pieces and make sure that not everybody gets a good meal there have been some of them and theyre sick and old. You know underground now see. This is the way that we were taught and this is the way we practice and this is the way we. Can pass on our teachings. The guys have killed this one caribou and you can see that theyre starting to process it in the field of pull the in trials out they tighten the skin off and then theyre going to pack it down to the village and cut it up and distribute it to the community and they really pride themselves on nothing going to weist. The sorrow and have to dry camp which trips then you know. And thats how we eat it. You make it even page where sara james is one of the elders heard this very tenderly could be good for toothless people in here so i gotta warn people so hard thats how they spread them out and the smoke and. Right now as winter learns shes busy preserving caribbean nation which has been a staple food for the weekend for generations we were one whole nation of people and we call ourselves a good and very in the bone marrow. And thats how we always feel if. We were colonized into a village because a force was trying each patient on us and to have a school or to have our kids to go to school we have to we have to colonize into a village who are weekend some wife. Sarah james has been campaigning for much of her life to protect the Arctic National wildlife refuge her community is deeply concerned that drilling for oil and gas will disrupt the caribou migration. 75 years and i can remember since 1950 and its always been my way of life protect the care bill its nothing new and nothing new to any anyone up last. Time we ever lived. Everywhere around here or it made. Him. And the oil company as part of full we had a great education to do because they dont even know there was good and they dont even know there was an article its someone then dont even know there was an article left. The Oil Companies want taxes to the area known as the 10 hour to a 1500000 i guess why the tundra at the top of the refuge this is where the far right wing porcupine cariboo give birth. Its a sacred ground its a birthplace is it by gold plated that means a sacred place for the life begins and to us is also our birth place because if it wasnt for the care bull who we want be here today. To get to the 10 o 2 from our village you have to cross the 1100 kilometer long brooks right the highest mountains in the arctic circle. The mole of the 19000000 i caught up to National Wildlife refuge is the largest protected wilderness in the united states. This narrow strip where the refuge makes the sea is home to many of the arctics diverse wildlife spaces.

This is where the caribbean activity this is the part of the cavern grounds of the porcupine carol heard what were walking on right here im here with retired biologist and conservationist friend malla hes a caribou expert who spent more than 20 years studying this special place this is a shed you know her from an adult female caribou when you find out hers lying on the tundra your collar at lotusphere in a calving ground. Its unclear how much oil actually lies under the tundra and exploratory will drooled in the mid eightys apparently delivered mega results but the Oil Companies wont release the data files now the trumpet ministration wants to sell off the drilling leases by the end of this year. In my opinion the russia has to sell lisas before theres another election. Its as simple as that. And theyre trying to push it through while they have the votes and the power of the white house to do this right so its a crime quite honestly that the. American people are being brought up. If the laces are approved this landscape could be crisscrossed with is strips roads pipelines and treatment plants. All of the years working up here i feel. I feel the pain and. I feel that the land is speaking for that through us. I think thats happened. Of emotion comes from deep concern. At school and yes and what is. Your cost or disaster. If we lose a special spice. Its a great loss. To all mankind. If. The only tell the refuge feeds home to the people. The majority of residency of support drilling for oil in the. Generations. The waters are a lot warmer than.

Know where. I live with them all my life there are no cents for me they get my good food. I could make money out there for. And. Theres not much money here in qatar because the oil industry is the minds will some income helping fund the school and buy 6 Services Like pallet and sewerage. Recently the Oil Companies paid for and i sell up to kate while meat saif from the polar bears. You can see. That Matthew Rexford is president of the kaktovik an e. P. A. At cooperation.

After generations of government interference murray is clear on who should make decisions about the land. God gave us this land to live life. For us not the government but the people that live here. Im sure they all get involved in how we live here were doing fine everythings here everybodys getting involved in our problems we live here we make the rules not there you dont live here we do. We shouldnt have to listen to them wouldnt not drilling for oil help protect your way of life. Probably but you know saying do it anyway. Its going to happen they say its just going to happen.

We should not have to trade our culture for oil and gas. The democrats held house voted to prevent drilling. While the administration is determined to push ahead the fun isnt over yet.
