I can't get the video embedded, only linked, but it is a wonderful video of the British Columbia coast and the native people there fighting the tar sands pipeline and 200+ super tankers a year from destroying their Eden. The tar sands, are the single most destructive industrial project in the world.
Watch the video. 45 minutes, but if you cannot spare it watch the first few 5 or 10 minutes, then drag the button over to 14 minutes to see the wolf fishing, and 35 minutes to see the spirit bear. It's interesting, most the natives want to continue as is, they reject the promise of wealth and villages turned to cities of high paying jobs, instead they want the wolf, bear and salmon.
First nation is one of the native groups fighting to save something of this world rather than tear it down, also check out the group below, very active in this fight.
