Protecting the Caribou Calving Grounds (Clip 4 of 4)

This is an additional clip not included in the final version of Arctic Son. For generations, the Gwitchin have relied on hunting caribou for food and other resources. Now the caribou calving grounds in Northeastern Alaska have become threatened, as the U.S. government wants to open the grounds up for oil drilling. Stan Sr. shows the process of hunting caribou, and explains why he feels it's important to preserve the calving grounds for future generations.
