The debate of whether to drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) has been an ongoing issue in the country since 1977. As of 2017, the Republicans were successful in opening up drilling with the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. If the Trump Administration completes its review, an auction for drilling leases could happen by the end of the year. However, indigenous groups are trying to fight this possibility, claiming the drilling threatens their way of life. Leasing in ANWR was blocked for four decades prior to this. According to Energywire, the oil-dependent state has suffered from the industry's decline, and waning production on the North Slope threatens the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) with a dwindling amount of oil that could fall below the minimum threshold to move. TAPS is both practically and symbolically central to the crude industry of Alaska.Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) told Enerygywire in 2017, “Alaskans can now look forward to our best opportunity to refill the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, thousands of jobs that will pay better wages, and potentially billion in royalties for our state alone."However, indigenous groups continue to fight to protect ANWR, not only for their way of life, but for the animals as well. “I am part of a long line of people born into Gwich’in nation of Fort Yukon, Alaska,” says Bernadette Demientieff, an outspoken activist against the drilling.The Gwich’in are comprised of 14 different communities of about 9,000 people. Demientieff is from Fort Yukon, Alaska, which is just south of ANWR. She lives in Fairbanks, Alaska now, but keeps to her indigenous roots with her family. “We pick berries every summer,” Demientieff says, while cleaning blueberries with her daughter. “It’s something our ancestors did and survived off. So, it’s something that has been handed down to us. It’s part of our culture and history, and it’s important we pass that knowledge and education to the next generation.”Demientieff advocates against the drilling in the refuge, because that’s where the Gwich’in’s main source of food breeds.“We do not worship the caribou, but we hold them to high standards,” she says. “The caribou has sustained the Gwich’in for thousands of years. They’ve taken care of us for thousands of years. Now, it’s our turn to take care of them. Gwich’in have always taken care of the land – we are stewards of the land. So, if something happens to the land it happens to the animals, then it happens to us.” Fort Yukon consists of about 800 people according to the second Chief Mike Peter. “The wild life refuge is where life begins,” Peter says. “Not even a footprint is in there, that’s where caribou migrate and have their calves. People still do hunt and fish and live off the land, and if drilling were to happen it would hurt us all.”The arctic caribou population has declined by half since the 90s, from around 4 million to 2 million. The Gwich’in fear this development would decrease this number even more. “This is the remaining caribou,” Dementieff says. “You know the rest of the arctic is opened to oil and gas development, and all the caribou population have declined in that area. And they can’t tell us that our food security is going to be impacted when we see different."ANWR posses what many geologists believe is the biggest untapped oil field remaining in the country, with economic potential in the billions. The development could create tens of thousands of jobs in the first decade, and it has potential of making the country more energy dependent. The effort could keep the state’s economy alive as well. However, the Gwich’in believe the cost of wildlife and their way of life is too high. “We are not going to give up,” Dementieff says. “We’re going to continue to go to the decision makers in DC.” 3839

The annual Independence Day celebration in Washington, D.C., will be transformed into an event that could cause fireworks among budget hawks. The generally apolitical event has featured a firework show on the National Mall for decades. But this year's event will take on a different look. One difference is President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak at the event. That will require additional security from the Secret Service and National Park Service. Secondly, the Secret Service spokesperson Matthew Miller said it will close parts of the National Mall for "VIPs." The tickets will be distributed through the White House.Reportedly, the VIP Tickets are being sold by donors to the Republican National Committee. 729

The coming Atlantic hurricane season is predicted to be near normal, with nine to 15 named storms, including four to eight hurricanes, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA, announced Thursday.Two to four of those hurricanes are expected to grow to Category 3 or stronger, NOAA said of the season, which officially begins June 1.
