over there is still worth do you agree but i'm not i'm sure there's a lot of creen indians in in northern canada who wouldn't agree that their life has been destroyed they may have you know a lot of modern boats and. a lot of snowmobiles on and all the other modern paraphernalia but they're still hunting and trapping and this it's you know the price of food in the arctic can be very high so this use of traditional foods is kind of important. or do you think that. the sort of the big industrial complex is the big industries. that russia is planning and already starting to construct in its arctic regions are big. and their impact on the environment will be will be very serious well there's a potential for of course environmental disasters we've seen what happened in the gulf of mexico but from a point of view of. destroying cancers yeah because you heard it was only a man which is one of the areas that has is very very rich and gas. you know they face a very uncertain future because it's a question of the ownership of the land they. need land to be able to migrate with their reindeer and they foll
