The story is about how the proposed oil exploration
in the Beaufort Sea, off Alaska's north coast, may affect the subsistence way
of life for the Inupiat Eskimos of the North Slope region. For the Inupiat
residents of Barrow and the other North Slope coastal communities, their
culture, traditions and liveliehoods are centered around whaling and seasonal
hunting which could be severely disrupted by a Prudhoe Bay-style oil
development.Aerial photo of the Brooks Mountain Range on the
