 FN->Gwich'in: Sarah James leads Alaska's 'Caribou People' in defense of their way of life nort

Issues & Activism

Keywords: Sarah James Gwich'in Alaska's Caribou People life north of the Arctic Circle porcupine caribou herd Alaska Natives ANWR arctic national wildlife refuge Arctic Village AK Porcupine River caribou Gwich'in mythology american indian activist environmental activists preserving caribou People of the Deer

Author: Bert Gildart, Special to The Christian Science Monitor

ARCTIC VILLAGE, ALASKA - In this tiny Alaskan town of 120, north of Anchorage and the Arctic Circle, beyond the imaginary line where summer days and winter nights become endless, Sarah James, a Gwich'in Indian leader, is rolling in cash - $130,000 to be exact, a 2001 grant from the Ford Motor Co.

It is, at first glance, an unlikely pairing: Ford products devour oil and gas; the Gwich'in (pronounced guh-WHICH-in) depend on caribou for everything from their meals to the gloves that keep their hands warm.

Ostensibly, then, they are rivals when it comes to the future of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), home to the Porcupine Caribou upon which the Gwich'in depend. Adjacent to Arctic Village, the refuge is coveted by petroleum companies and guarded zealously by activists like Ms. James.

Last November, Ford awarded James a fellowship as one of the "Emerging Leaders in a Changing World," a group of 20 outstanding but little-known national leaders.
