For generations, the Gwich'in people of Alaska and northern Canada have depended on caribou migrating through the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge's coastal plain. Their traditional culture faces threats from oil extraction and climate change. Two Gwich'in women continue a decades-long fight to protect their land and future.

The Arctic Refuge is vital for Alaska Native subsistence and represents an unspoiled natural world. Despite its importance, the Trump administration plans to allow oil and gas drilling in the coastal plain. This drilling would destroy intact wilderness and violate the human rights of the Gwich'in, who rely on this sacred place.

The Gwich'in are fighting to protect their future and need support.
