America's Last Frontier - Trailer

"It's insightful for South Africans to hear the plight of Indigenous Peoples Worldwide, and the World Summit provided the perfect platform for this screening." - SABC Africa

America's Last Frontier was first seen on MTV News with a call to action to stop the mandate to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The film premiered at the United Nations World Summit in South Africa and went on to air four times across the African continent.

On bush planes, dogsleds and snow-go's with Gwich'in spokeswoman, and recipient of the "Emerging Leaders In A Changing World" award, Sarah James, Eyak spokesman and TIME Magazines "Hero for the Planet," Dune Lankard, and Chief Evon Peter, Alaska's youngest Athabaskan Chief, "America's Last Frontier" touches down in remote villages nestled in this icy tundra. The spoken word of these courageous Native leaders with the united voice of the Gwich'in and the songs of the worlds foremost socially aware Native Rock band, echoes from community and concert halls in Alaska to Washington DC for a political charged rally with appearances by Faith Gammill, Senator Joe Lieberman, William H. Meadows, Senator Ted Stevens and Senator Paul David Wellstone, expressing visions, warnings and solutions to America's young and soon to be in charge.

"America's Last Frontier" screened at the National Congress of American Indians conference, San Diego, CA November 13, 2002, and during the United Nations Indigenous Peoples draft declaration on human rights in Geneva, December 4,2002.

When all the trees have been cut down,

when all the animals have been hunted,

when all the waters are polluted,

when all the air is unsafe to breathe,

only then will you discover you cannot eat money.

Right ON! Drilling in ANWR will not give Americans any immediate relief at the pump. This is nothing more than a ploy that insults our intelligence because it will only make Big Oil richer. Politicians will lie and say it can be done safely to not hurt the environment. Their purpose is nothing more than a big land grab to make Big Oil richer and further our addiction to oil. We can't take that chance. Once the environment is destroyed and the animals are gone, it's forever!
