Gwich'in Sarah James honored as a climate hero by the Atlas Awards in Washington on Oct. 7, 2012

Sarah James participated in Earth Week 2012, and is a native of the Gwich'in tribe from Arctic Village, Alaska. She was awarded the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2002 for her work protecting caribou calving and nursery grounds in the Arctic National Refuge from oil and gas drilling.
