People in ANWR


Like a said a couple of days ago, there are also people in ANWR. I am sure a lot of people think ANWR is only inhabited by animals, i did when i first heard about this issue, but there is not. the two main groups of people are the Inupiat Eskimos and the Gwich'in Indians. The Indians live in 15 different villages that span from ANWR all the way to Canada. they depend on the Caribou that come to ANWR to breed, without these caribou, the Indians would be in trouble because they are very traditional people who would not want to change their ways. The Eskimos hunt the whale, oxen, and other animals that could relocate it there was drilling here. Both of these groups of people have lived here for many many years and we would not want to force them to change their ways just to get MAYBE a years worth of oil. So for those of you who do not care that much about hurting the animals, this could be hurting people too!
