In this video adapted from Bullfrog Films, Evon Peter, chief of Arctic Village, explains the significance of the Porcupine caribou herd to the Gwich'in people. Over a 10,000-year relationship, the caribou have become part of the Gwich'in nation's social fabric. Peter discusses the importance of the caribou calving grounds, which the Gwich'in treat as a sacred place, and the threat that exists to caribou from proposed oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR).
