"We're the experts on climate change since we're hit first and we're hit
hardest" /- Faith Gemmill, Resisting Environmental Devastation On
Indigenous Lands, Alaska.
/
"When our communities say 'No' to coal, when they say 'No' to oil,
because they are facing the human rights abuses of these companies and
the impacts of pollution, when we are saying NO and these are the
reasons why we are being impacted locally by these industries we are at
the fore-front of this whole curbing of global warming." /- Wahleah
Johns, Black Mesa Water Coalition, Arizona.
/
Faith Gemmill and Wahleah Johns describe the effects of the coal and oil
industries in their communities, how indigenous people are amongst the
most directly affected by climate change, and they talk about the fight
for climate justice.

These interviews were recorded in December 2005 during the UN Climate
Change Conference in Montreal for community radio CKUT 90,3FM.
