<a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-for-gwichin-people-arctic-drilling-poses-a-threat-to-caribou-and/">The Trump administration, eager to explore Alaska's oil reserves, is planning seismic tests on the calving grounds of animals Indigenous people depend on economically and spiritually.</a> Here's a closer look at the ones with the most to lose. <br /><br /><em>A Gwich'in story of creation says that man and caribou were created with a piece of the other's heart in his own. Accordingly, the fate of the animal and the people are said to be intertwined.
The Gwich'in people, 7000 of whom live in the western part of the North America near the Arctic Circle, on the coast of the Beaufort Sea, have for thousands of years been dependent on the caribou; the animal has, for them, both spiritual and physical significance.</em>

<em>Mr. Kyikavichik recalls the day Donald Trump was elected as a bad dream – an overwhelming sense of disbelief, as if it wasn't really happening.</em>
We are a nation of many peoples united in our common humanity.
In all seriousness, even without the drilling for oil, there are bound to be changes in their traditional lifestyle as climate change alters their ecology. We all should be invested in saving the caribou not just to preserve the Gwich'in lifestyle, but because
<em>"The caribou are a renewable source of energy," Vuntut Gwitchin Government councillor Dana Tizya-Tramm from Old Crow, Yukon, said to the gathering. "They've been around for two million years, and they will be around for another two if you leave them alone."
For the Gwich'in, opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to resource exploration is more than just an environmental issue. In an area of the country where supermarket food is notoriously expensive, the caribou are a key source of food security. "When my people have to eat from microwaves and boxes," Mr. Tizya-Tramm continued, "then we will cost you in doctors, in medical expenses. We will cost you more than it's worth for the 10 to 12 years of oil you can get from the Arctic Refuge."</em>
The faster we kill off oil dependency, the less we starve and get sick.comment:www.metafilter.com,2018:site.178473-7597761Sat, 29 Dec 2018 22:04:41 -0800saysthis
"Yes. Something that interested us yesterday when we saw it." "Where is she?" His lodgings were situated at the lower end of the town. The accommodation consisted[Pg 64] of a small bedroom, which he shared with a fellow clerk, and a place at table with the other inmates of the house. The street was very dirty, and Mrs. Flack's house alone presented some sign of decency and respectability. It was a two-storied red brick cottage. There was no front garden, and you entered directly into a living room through a door, upon which a brass plate was fixed that bore the following announcement:¡ª The woman by her side was slowly recovering herself. A minute later and she was her cold calm self again. As a rule, ornament should never be carried further than graceful proportions; the arrangement of framing should follow as nearly as possible the lines of strain. Extraneous decoration, such as detached filagree work of iron, or painting in colours, is [159] so repulsive to the taste of the true engineer and mechanic that it is unnecessary to speak against it.

The exhibition of domestic discord and hatred in the House of Hanover had, from its first ascension of the throne, been most odious and revolting. The quarrels of the king and his son, like those of the first two Georges, had begun in Hanover, and had been imported along with them only to assume greater malignancy in foreign and richer soil. The Prince of Wales, whilst still in Germany, had formed a strong attachment to the Princess Royal of Prussia. George forbade the connection. The prince was instantly summoned to England, where he duly arrived in 1728. "But they've been arrested without due process of law.

Reuben did not go to the Fair that autumn¡ªthere being no reason why he should and several why he shouldn't. He went instead to see Richard, who was down for a week's rest after a tiring case. Reuben thought a dignified aloofness the best attitude to maintain towards his son¡ªthere was no need for them to be on bad terms, but he did not want anyone to imagine that he approved of Richard or thought his success worth while. Richard, for his part, felt kindly disposed towards his father, and a little sorry for him in his isolation. He invited him to dinner once or twice, and, realising his picturesqueness, was not ashamed to show him to his friends.
