Description:
For centuries, Inuit in
the Arctic have lived on and around the frozen ocean. Now, as the sea
ice between Canada and Greenland melts, the outside world sees
unprecedented opportunity. Oil and gas deposits, faster shipping
routes, tourism, and fishing all provide financial incentive to
exploit the newly opened waters. But for more than 100,000 Inuit, an
entire way of life is at stake. Development here threatens to upset
the balance between their communities, land, and wildlife. Inuit in
Canada and Greenland are once again coming together, fighting to
protect what will remain of their world. The question is, will the
world listen?
