Indigenous Communities in the Military Industrial Crosshairs

The Inupiac community of Barrows, Alaska have the same dynamics as Chamorus in Guahan in the face of outsider intrusion and interests. Who are the true caretakers of a culture and a people? Those that capitulate to the "forces" of change, scurrying to service the masters in order to "have a piece of the pie?" Or those who love and respect our environment, fight to protect our cultural values & traditions, and strive to walk in the way of our ancestors?
