Thank you so much for uploading this, Ian. Such Beauty, anguish and sadness. (Loved all the music too) I imagine, 12 years later the situation will no doubt be worse, but the insights and opinions were well formed and still very current. I am faced with the similar issues on farmland in a first world country.(just north of Melbourne, Australia) No matter how well I care for the bit I have responsibility for, neighbouring and other external forces blatantly disregard laws or are oblivious to required guidelines. Governing bodies are poorly informed, corrupt, or missing in action. The neighbourhood are nervous to rock the boat or suffer consequences (paybacks) of official complaints, or settle into the " she'll be alright, mate" attitude. It feels like death by a thousand cuts. I now think chemical build up in water, land and air is the planets greatest issue. The Inuit reference to sun moving was unexpected. Is it possible there is land shift or collapse of land as well? There is such complexity to the natural world. Thank you, again. Amazing work.
I watched this 13 years ago. I would LOVE an update from the Inuit people now. Is that possible?
