Gwich'in people send message to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling

Gwich'in people send message to save the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil drilling

People of the Gwich'in Nation and supporters gather on the tundra in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge near Arctic Village, Alaska, calling for permanent protection of the refuge and urgent action on climate change on May 30, 2009. The human banner reads "Save the Arctic" with an image of a caribou in the center. The action was part of the "Celebration of Land and Life" marking over two decades of the Gwich'in people and their allies success in keeping the refuge safe from oil drilling.
