Protect the Arctic and Stand with the Gwich’in

The Gwich'in call the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge “Iizhik Gwats'an Gwandaii Goodlit” (The Sacred Place Where Life Begins). Join with them as they fight to protect this land from development and oil drilling.

The current administration is proceeding with plans to give oil and gas companies the right to drill in the coastal plain of the Arctic Refuge. The Gwich’in are fighting to protect their future, but they can’t win this battle alone.
