- Alaska Natives from the Gwich'in Nation have been fighting oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) for decades.
Watch Part 1: • This Is The Story Of A...

Watch Part 4: • What People Get Wrong ...
ANWR is a critical habitat for polar bears, as well as the calving grounds of the porcupine caribou herd, which the Gwich'in people depend upon for survival. AJ+ goes above the Arctic Circle to a village where the Gwich'in way of life is at stake as Congress prepares to approve drilling for oil in the refuge.

Powerful story. "My granddaughters have a right to be who we are."
She speaks the truth. They have nothing to gain and everything to lose.
@R J you will never get anything back the way it was you cant be a virgin but one time just like you thing you can go back in time you have seen to much to be that person you once were you drive cars your ancestors did not have what you do now so there is no being back
Thank you for this informative report. It has been well received by myself and countless others. The struggle to survive and prosper for Native Alaskans is a well trodden story by many Native peoples on this planet. What makes Alaska so unique in this struggle to keep a traditional way of life for tens of thousands of Native Alaskan Tribal Peoples is because presently the land is not totally lost as it is in the lower 48 states and you have as Native Alaskans good people fighting for you both Native and others. I wish you the all the best in your fight for your traditional lands to stay pristine so that you continue to live how you have lived for tens of thousands of years.
Thank you for covering topics very few Americans know about. Alaska's history is as big as its land...wide and vast. Uncovering its complexity and revealing dark secrets and misconceptions with beautiful culture and almost lost traditions is wonderful!
Im an Alaskan. I can tell you that the Gwich'in are lying. They don't live there. The Inupiak do. The Gwich'in have no oil on their land, they are one of the poorest tribes in Alaska. so they pretend to be indigenous to the north slope when they are not so environmental groups can pay them to lie.
Fight on Alaskan Natives we need you
This documentary really hits home ....I feel so angry and just wish the government would let the natives live how they do & leave them be. I am a native Hawaiian and know how it feels to see this happening to your homeland. I 🙏🏼 things will get better and there will be peace and a viable solution for Alaska Natives.
It was a mistake to try and assimilate the American Indians of Alaska, but the backwards Semitic cult of Christianity influenced us. Aside from this, my people did nothing wrong to American Indians in Alaska.
Yes stay strong and fight! You need too
Has this narrator done anything else? Because I could listen to her voice aaaaaaaaalll day.
I like how the native hunter brethren are armed.
40 miles from Anchorage and I pay 7.50 a gallon for gas. It's flown in.

the Audubon Society, one of many environmental
groups opposed to drilling in ANWR. “Oil and birds don’t mix,” says the group on its website. “Drilling is a dirty and dangerous business that has historically always resulted in spills and harmed the environment.” Yet consider how the Audubon Society manages some of its own privately owned wildlife refuges. For nearly 50 years, starting in the 1950s, the group allowed oil and gas companies to drill dozens of wells on its 26,000-acre Paul J. Rainey Sanctuary, a bird sanctuary in southwestern Louisiana.
This is still on the line! Please call your member of Congress and tell them to protect the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge!
Man, people, humans have no right in the world to ruin that ecosystem.
I cannot emphasize enough that we must VOTE in 2018 & 2020 as counter measure to what Trumpists have done to this country and the natural heritages of US, opening up ANWR to drilling is against all God's creatures who call this land home, please go out there get involved and VOTE.
God put man in charge of those creatures. We eat them and skin them and mount their heads on our walls. Putting an oil rig down is the least of there concerns. They can move. Animals have no soul and are here to provide man with what we need. In some countries men eat dogs, cats and horses. As well as every other animal you care about.
What does voting get you? Obama, by executive order, signed over millions of acres of Navajo sacred land to the mining companies. Then he designated one of their most sacred sites a "national monument," which effectively means that the tribe cannot even use that land at all or they will be arrested. But don't forget to vote!
Oil is archaic its time to find a new renewable minimal impact energy source. ITAR is building the future of power as we speak.
May you all be blessed and protected. You would not like me if you saw me or invite me into your home. We went through what you are going through many hundreds if not a thousand years ago..and still we are hated everywhere we go..we are not welcome. Your land is beautiful. It is your home and soul. They are one. Few understand the interconnection of land and soul.
I hold you all in my heart. Forgive us for being ugly. We are not , but it makes it easier for others to justify theft and hate .
May all peace and joy be yours. Thank you for sharing.
Wonder if She eats off of the land?
WTH $10 for gas this is price this is not aloud in lower 50 states why is it happening in our Usa
"Economic Benefit is here today, gone tomorrow"...
Save the gwitchen land
Its not their land. The Gwitch'in are hated by the Inupiak for this. They lie and pretend that they live on Inupiak land so they can get paid by environmental groups. Look at a damn map you idiot. The gwitchen tribe a hundreds of miles away from where the oil development will be.
4 months until November elections let's hope a blue wave will knock these ambitions out of the water
Do not protect us!
This people are Oriental so I think Korean should help this people out
i live in alaska and i think we need to reform the natives by giving them money from oil or by working out a deal with the regular americans and the natives
The reason the US purchased Alaska. RESOURCES. Drill for oil and ignore the sissy folk. Caribou will still be there and so will the other critters. They already hang around the oil rigs now.
Wayne Renee a purchase the the inhabitans had NO say in and would have been illegal today
Wayne, brother, the land was purchased and the Indians got nothing.
@@uberkloden Do you think you own the land your house is sitting on? The Government owns ALL the land. You will always pay taxes to be on it. They own Native lands too, but allow them to think they’ve got something left to shut them up. Government takes what they want with force when they need to. Natives already know this fact. Natives don’t own it just because they’ve been squatting there. Don’t pay your property taxes and you won’t be there either. When foreigners arrived on the coast in ships, the natives should have killed them all. Now those same people own it all. I want better gas prices, so they can move to make way for oil rigs. They don’t own it, and history can’t be changed.
TOO LATE ! 2020, trump & WEALTHY people, WILL BEGIN
look logic says if your want something back you never can go back it is like a girl who wants her Virginity back from that first time lover it just does not work that way
"economic benefits is short term... our way of life will sustain us for ever"
I'd love to see these suckers survive a single winter with-out their rifles, quads and Alaskan oil royalty checks... just saying.
they don't get "royalty checks" or were you not listening?
4T3hM4kr0n!... every Alaskan gets an annual dividend from the proceeds of Alaskan oil numb nuts, it's not much... but it is enough money for them to buy a years worth of gas for those traditional Inuit 4-wheelers and a years worth of bullets for those traditional Inuit AR-15s... so these people can choose to live their traditional 3rd world existence one penny at a time.
Don't talk smack about Gwich'in people. I grew up with Gwich'in people..
The only people in Alaska from Oil are white Irish, German and English people who live in huge mansions on the Southside of Anchorage. Everyone else gets hurt by big oil.
@@petemclovins9166 +
1.there was no A.R 15 present in the video 2. those royalt checks (which is barely anything if they do get the check at all) are used to buy those rifles and ATVs you wouldn't understand there problem if it hit you in the face
I feel sorry for this people..here i am thinking what other people did to me that left me broke and how and my family will survive but these people are at risk of losing their land, their culture, their way of life that will leave them with nothing because of some greedy companies who have no respect whatsoever to other lives and only care about profit.
Epi King it's not just the companies it's the big bad bully America that's the real devil they did it to all native cultures even mine the native hawaiians we weren't allowed to speak our language our dance the hula all for our natural resources and the position of our islands to put military bases there to protect America from Asia the hawaiians lost everything even our monarchy my beloved queen liliuokalani was overthrown by America and she stepped aside so no more bloodshed would be upon her people . Hawaii is not a part of America there was no treaty no annexation that's why we call hawaii the fake state because there is no documents showing anything that hawaii belongs to America hawaiians been fighting this battle for years to reclaim the lands and our kingdom.
I love Trump... and I understand what his intentions are
But....the refuge needs to be left alone...
And omg....i would LOVE to live in one of these remote villages of Alaska... learn to hunt and fish.. would be a dream come true
Which nationality is on the native passport
Ok
Alaskan Natives:
"For ten thousand years, we hunted, fished and lived off the land ."
"Now in order to survive, we're forced to hunt, fish and live off the land."
"Man cannot 'own' land."
"We owned this land".
"We were coerced to sign a bill we didnt understand."
"That bill clearly promised us money."
"We would never sell our land for money"
"We sold our land and haven't gotten a dime."
"We just want to live exactly how our ancestors did"
"..and we dont even have indoor plumbing!"
