. live. live . live . live. live.

live live. live live. live . play like i. played. it.

was. exciting. lead. thank. you i. thought. it's. thirty. so. one is the goal of the twelve on to the ground when he wishes to rest he turns into a stone. he rules over the wild beasts of the jungle and when the shamans drink

they come in contact with him and ask him to bring animals to a community. and when the animals come to the community we will be hunt them down with blowpipes and share them as we always have. however the oil companies that have come here place explosives and dynamite in the earth to get the oil out of it they have taken our land and they are killing quote unquote by sucking his blood and polluting nature with chemicals. so our god is dying and we have no animals to hunt as we used to live with diseases and little food.

i. in the olden days it was called no man's land the land with no history and no past

. nevertheless it has been inhabited for thousands of years the siona go fon see coolio shorn. and each one native tribes who are living in harmony with their environment and no contact with the rest of the world. however at the big. you know the sixty years. war

in america. was discovered underneath this jungle.

at. the. coworkers were the first white men to arrive here on a massive scale in one thousand nine hundred sixty four. came in contact with development in the western civilization. of.

when they saw the natives there in the texaco workers decided to feed them they gave them a bowl of rice with the response to eat. when they had finished eating and they to the bar one spoon and left. this is an anecdote and because they say they will well was negotiated for a bowl of rice and responds. to. say they've only been. given when you know borders. in the beginning everything looked great big machines but open roads in the jungle but then the pollution appeared i mean. the biodiversity disappeared everything died because there were fires burning day and night and i was in insects would go near the smoke stacks fall into the talks

of tanks and. so. few so. i began to fall ill from endless as we didn't know if. we had shamans that cured with her but with the arrival of oil companies came many unknown diseases shamans tried to cure them but they couldn't because those diseases had just arrived. fifty five.

if. i've. i've. i've i've. i've. i've. just flee. for their arrival of the oil companies we could drink the river water but now we can only drink from

a spring because the rivers are polluted. but. it's. a good life for us means having a lot of space because we live from nature now we protect the little land we have left because of the oil company there is a very small area left to us and that is why i turn to handicrafts in order to survive.

is the issue is that natives lived there and the neighbors were considered by the state people they claim that this land is a deserted area. tribes have been living there for hundreds of years but they said no one who lived there. said all right since no one lives there we will dump our waste into the river and those are the rivers where the neighbors fished based drank water and lived from the jungle. but neighbors were considered useless expendable. they were not taken at all into consideration when. chevron texaco is not a human being like you and i. is

a legal entity and such an entity cannot think such a thing has no feelings. see remember. this is love. in you provincial town that popped up in the jungle only forty years ago. it is twenty kilometers away from the colombian border and field as the locals say with a three piece pewters piece to all those patrol we. get is a town created by settlers the government also granted them fifty hatters so jungle to the forest and cultivate. thanks.

they were poor misty sauce and blacks people from all over ecuador who came to work in the new industry filled with hope today there were thousands of disappointed impoverished residents. it's. the this is pasture land this pasture is grazed by animals that produce the milk and mates that go to the market. you can see it more clearly here. look. at the pure oil. it's ok paul is here but anyway there's oil here also. it's. all this area

all that you say is polluted with oil this entire place. how much they never used membranes or any other material to prevent the absorption of hydrocarbons by the soil and they're spreading to other places that no.

production waters are closely linked to all oil produced energy. was known the impact of production water since the one nine hundred sixty s. and as have systems in place for their safe handling such as the reinjection in the drilling. however here in ecuador these methods were never used. by in the usa a country where they came from. sea up and they applied a technology that didn't allow for any dumping in the rivers. gas burning or leaving open waste pits. it's on the law but here knowing full well they shouldn't do it they did so anyway. because that way they saved four billion

dollars and the reason is obvious it amounted to money why should they reject production water to save the lives of some poor natives. you legal goose losers i say all this is absolutely false. the company began operating in eastern ecuador in one nine hundred sixty four using all the latest technologies next door as in the rest of the world that you're both of so what is said is pure propaganda by people who attack the company we're all busy seeking economic benefits for me cause we don't need.

this right here is pure oil where the diseases come from. the word mixed

with water the smell is awful. something you cannot stand. this is. this is the toxic tank left here by texaco. i think there's a hole for meters deep. woman you're going when i came here the pool had already being constructed but back then in the mountains it didn't seem that bad. then they say they cleaned and burnt the

waste but they didn't. come in that they only through wooden earth on top of it. nothing else. thank. you were. they filled it with earth in order to fill up the holes left after the deep pollution. and on top they put blunts polos don't base nor agreement with the government on how restitution would be done. it's pure oil but if you let my camera can't records but the smell is

absolutely disgusting. and when it's sunny the stench is even stronger. of course when it rains the toxic waste spreads elsewhere that is why pollution here is parametric. so it has tremendous repercussions on the people and that is why in the amazon cancer rates are much higher. there are one hundred forty seven percent more cancer cases that in other areas of a country which have no oil activity. thank you could i.

thank. god thank you i. thank. these of the toxic substances that kill our people. we have the highest cancer rates in the ecuadorian amazon over fifteen hundred people have died from cancer. that's so people die from cancer all across the world from all causes and effects between oil and cancer have never been proven it's never been medically certified

they say there are children with cancer well let's suppose there are no one has proven that it is because of the oil. it is to see how they degrade the natives telling them all is a fertilizer for their plants and farmland if there is a ceiling your property be happy that is the first one was they tell them all is good for the here because there are shampoos with the world so you can take some oil and put it on your here. areas the drinking water was proven polluted however they went there with a team performed analysis and told them you can export this water bottle it and export it that it is very good quality water.

before the oil companies refusal to recognize the destruction look there was also a refusal to inform people about the damaging effects of oil and toxic substances stance just because something has a community standard of mean yes. they were communities where children would chew the crude oil because it was think. thought it was like chewing gum things that no one absolutely no one had told them those substances were toxic gases that yes toxic gas nothing he texaco never put up a fence saying but no entry for animals children or people going through must mean us working one thing that's better so the pollution spread everywhere and yes you missed out again absolutely same people that chewed it like gum in the tanks is when you have an illness beastliness they shifted the crude oil floating on top of the rivers and dip their cup into drink and no one had told them the substances

were talks like he says was times yes.

morning's today while.
