In this episode, we put the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge InFocus. Gwich'in leaders like Chief Pauline Frost explain why this sacred land is vital to their people. But corporate interests, backed by politicians, have eyed it for oil and gas drilling. Despite challenges, President Trump’s declaration of a “national energy emergency” keeps his push for drilling alive.
Reporter Sara Connors joins us to discuss what Trump’s second presidency could mean for the future of the refuge and how Indigenous communities are responding.
