VIDEO The Sacred Place Where Life Begins | Gwich'in Women Speak



IF SHE CAN DO IT, YOU CAN TOO presents a sneak peak of a new documentary by MIHO AIDA: The Sacred Place Where Life Begins | Gwich'in Women Speak. The arctic native Gwich'in women from all walks of life speak out to protect the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge from oil development. They remind us this is not only an environmental issue but also an indigenous and human rights issue for the nation. My hope is that by sharing their voices, people would be inspired to take action to support Gwich'in's effort to continue their way of life and protect our public land. Go to www.mihoaida.com and visit Gwich'in Women Speak page to find out what you can do.
