Alaskas Arctic National wildlife refuge known as. Protected by the u. S. Government but also contested for decades. Clinging to the icy tundra on the shore of the both at sea in the arctic ocean is cutover it some unlikely tourist hot spot at the edge of the world. Going to see some barriers yet of over there do it. All. A resident of more than 30 years today a local god Robert Thompson is taking me out into the lagoon to be the main attraction. The polar pants. Around for more now because you have a church going to die janelle tonight or theyre going to get a commercial. Comes in a form were going to sink or swim they shoot or float around bridges. Are coming for. Them to make it. Its utterly breathtaking to say 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. That mikes qatar take a blake make of the 2 wrists cane to catch a glimpse and a photo of polar bears in the wild before they go on. Their alaska has always been on my bucket list this is my 2nd trip to alaska polar bears they are incredibly adorable. I mean you just like get family you just want to play with them of course its not safe. We see these bears are beautiful she and i should never be saying but. Theyre in peril theyre going to be gone theyve become extinct. People caused it. And now theyre aware of it we should do what we could mitigate it but not many people are especially the president we have no taking a shot of the parish agreement with every road for around to try to open up more resources for development in here in oregon. The tovey can it surrounds or at the center of a battle between big oil and conservation. Less than 200 kilometers from here is the countrys most productive oil field 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 ssion which even now continues to increase its consumption of crude oil as the oil field begins to run lower donald trump has big plans to open up and wa. But not without a 5. Im on my way to make the Indigenous People leading the opposition. The gucci made up of 15 communities across alaska and canada. This. Is seal skin then a date demented is coordinating the campaign from the central alaskan city a favor. Really can go. Our ancestors lived and survive off this land for thousands of years and now we have a government coming and saying you can destroy 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. And thats why i think its important that we use our voices. Most live in remote areas like. An aptly named settlement on the age of the arctic circle. The only way to get here is by. Its home to about 150 people. Everything in the Remote Community is flown in and prices are high. People here rely on hunting the caribou to get the through the long winter months. When i 1st harvest my 1st care but 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 that are last. While hunting is a rite of passage the tribes young men like general john see themselves as custody ins of the land and animals slant was set aside for us were doing our job you know protect you know as lanky peers. We handed out no we cut it up into pieces and make sure that not everybody gets a good meal for bringing some of them and when they can hold. 300 gram theyll say hey. 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 say that theyre starting to process it in the field of pull the in trials out there taking 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. These are you have to try campbell strips now you know. And you know how we eat it. You make it even cage where. Sarah james is one of the elders heard this very tenderly could be good for toothless people in them so i got to warn people so hard thats how they spread them out and the smoke and. Right now as winter learns shes busy preserving caribou nation which has been the staple food for the weekend for generations we were one whole nation of people and we call ourselves and theyre 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. Sound we have. Everywhere around us weve 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 arctic refuge. 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 gods got and by gold plated that means a sacred place for the life begins and to us is also our birth place because it wasnt for the care bull who we want be here today. To get to the 10 or to from our village you have to cross the 1100 kilometer long brooks right the highest mountains in the arctic circle. The more than 19000000 i cut Arctic 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 the heart of the Arctic National wildlife refuge one of the most Pristine Environments in the world and its here that the trumpet ministration and the Oil Companies want to drill. This is where your character had never before this was. 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 player from an adult female caribou when you find out hers lying on the tundra your collar at lotusphere in a cabin 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 rush has to sell lisas before theres another election. Its a simple. And theyre trying to push it through well they have the force 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. More the years working up here i feel. I feel the pull and. I feel that the land is speaking for that through us. Take that step. Ups. And nation comes from deep concern. At school and yes and what is. Your cost or disaster. If we knew it was a special surprise. Its a great loss. To all mankind. If. The only tell the refuge feeds home to the new people. The majority of residency of support drilling for oil in the tank. For generations have hunted by. The waters are a lot warmer than. We dont have right we should have. Been happening. In our role now its really weird to see i. 56 year old. Has gone most of her life. Sick. Patients. To control go where. They have the right to. The community. Where. Like that. Wed like to. Hes paid hes a good start yeah its good. For you very. Cold. Own. Tracks the polar bear is into the village and the locals run a 247 a troll. Theyre smelling it and they want to get to it and theres no way to get there so you know right now theyve got no ice to hunt seal so theyre coming in to try and get whatever they can he feel sorry for that they. 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 a half. 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 and. Recently the Oil Companies paid for and i sell up to kate while meat saif from the polar bears. You can see this is why. Matthew rexford is president of the qatar they can e. P. At cooperation. With all of these are heavy metals and serious you know and all this heavier equipment its tends to be more bare proof yes i think a very scary and then also a few days now oh yes yes. But hes met his mom shes pregnant about the choices that my. d the community are for their companies wanting to drill. When i 1st heard about it i do like. That. Opportunity. What it can do very good i think itll help itll help. When the refuge was established the new piece of catatonic what consulted. After generations of government interference murray is clear on who should make decisions about the land. God gave us this land to live live for us not the government but the people that live here. Why should 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 base ace just going to happen. Its happening already. A smart a pseudo one it. And war and alaska one of the great sites of energy in the world and i didnt think it was a big deal and then one day a friend of mine whos in the open is called is it true. That you have and were in the bill i said i dont know who cares if there were you know reagan dry every single president tried and not one president was successful in getting at the bush years when everybody i said you got to be kidding i love it now and after that we fought like hell together and work. Creator we have you for guidance today were honest youre the guy who is in the right direction provide us the knowledge that we need to protect our home ones and protect the complaint her book hers and all the tools that. Make their way to the Arctic National wildlife refuge which in later but i did demented takes the fun to washington d. C. Im always order from my family and. Trying to educate the world of what my elders told us theyre the ones who lived and survived off these lands theyre the ones who got knowledge from thousands of thousands and thousands of years. Being hair of living where we are not only here to use our voice for our people but for all people for your children and your grandchildren. We are here to speak for our animals because they cant tell us when theyre sick they cant tell us when theyre hungry and they cant tell us about the impact that theyre dealing with with Climate Change 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. I think were going to come together to stand up against this administration. I think our i see and i see a lot of people that never usually Work Together unite. And i have to hold on to that whole. One. Person. Desperate for a better life millions of people have sought refuge in europe but. Sometimes their dreams of sanctuary are realized but sometimes disenchantment and hostility drives them home.
