"How are we as humanity going to survive if we cointinue to do this... We are destroyng life and taking it away from our children and their children... Are they going to have clean air, clean water, food..? These are questions that not only Gwich'in people have to be concerned about, these are questions everyone has to be concerned about. The spill in the Gulf of Mexico...? That was a wake up call!

We are not protecting the Arctic Refuge for ourselves..., we are protecting it for everyone".

Heartfelt words from Faith Gimmel, Gwich'in Spokesman and campaign organizer of REDOIL (Resisting Environmental Destruction on Indigenous Lands)
