This area is the birthing and nursing ground for the Porcupine Caribou Herd, on which the Gwich'in people have depended for millennia. Since 1988, the Gwich'in nation has been gathering every two years to discuss the threat of oil and gas development on this sacred land. This film shares the voices of Gwich'in women at the 2010 gathering, who speak for their sacred land, the caribou, and their way of life. These women inspire audiences around the country to action and will move you to join their effort to protect their sacred land. Written by Anonymous See less
