SAN FRANCISCO -- "I grew up on the land," says Sarah James, Neets’aii Gwich’in. It was fifteen miles from the nearest neighbor.
"I spoke only Gwich'in until I was thirteen years old, when I went to school."
"At that time there was no running water, there is no running water, just healthy running water, it's a river. There are no roads into Arctic Village, we hunt, trap, fish and gather, together."
