  The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge - A Priceless Gift
  A Presentation and Storytelling
  about a very Special Place

  When:      Saturday August 2nd, 2008, at 11:00 am

                  3520 86th Street Urbandale, Iowa  50322

  The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of America's premier wilderness 
  areas.  The coastal plain of the Refuge has been threatened by oil drilling 
  many times in its 50 year history. Today, threats from Big Oil are greater 
  than they have been for over two decades.  Come learn about the history, 
  it's values, and how you can help protect this national treasure.

  This is a story, as well, of indigenous concerns, and about raising the 
  voices of those urging our government to recognize the rights of indigenous 
  peoples.

  sustained the Gwich'in for over twenty thousand years.

  Some places are just too special to destroy for a short term gain - the
  Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is one of these places
