The town of Grand Bayou, Louisiana, has no streets and no cars, just water and boats. And now the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens the very existence of the Atakapa-Ishak Indians who live there. “We’re facing the potential for cultural genocide,” says one tribe member.

This is my favorite channel! Thank you for making such wonderful videos!
These Luciferians that caused this hate God and nature….Don’t expect any help from B.P. or Gov….Your way of life may change along with millions of other Americans…Alaska? That may not be a bad choice. Dress for the weather. God Bless.
This is a wonderful video. What concerns me is the fact that health issue for those
being exposed to toxic oil hasn’t been addressed, at least not to my satisfaction. The
treat is real, and these incredible people need to know how to protect themselves
when coming in contact with toxic oil. Respirators, protective clothing from head to toe, basically Biohazard equipment. People who are coming in contact with the oil
are getting sick, the long-term effects, life threatening.

I think Bobby Jindal is in the Governor’s mansion…
Democrats and BP did this on purpose.
DRILL BABY DRILL!
@ronpaulisacommunist It’s more of Republicans that are at fault since it was rushed under their tenure wasn’t it? Either way though, death to BP!
Where are all of the Indians???
That’s where all this derived from, Get It???
We use to have the richest culture, best fishing, hunting, and trees.
What ever happened to being content and taking only what you can use, and leaving more than you take.
Living simple life 🙂
Successful people are selfish, until we learn how to live with earth will we ever learn what it means to be alive.
Watch the Earth Song by Michael Jackson, he knew and they killed him :*(
if this oil gets into the fresh water ect it will poison ….us….
MOTHER EARTH IS PUNISHING US FOR THE WRONGS WE ARE DOING TO HER WE HAVE TAKEN TO MUCH FROM THE EARTH AND NOW SHE IS GETTING BACK AT US BECAUSE WE DONT RESPECT THE WAY WE SHOULD THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINING OF DISATERS EVERY WHERE! SAVE MOTHER EARTH SHE FEEDS US AND LETS US LIVE ON HER WE DONT NEED OIL AND COAL TO LIVE WE JUST NEED TO LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF THE LAND AND SHE WILL TAKE CARE OF US.
a very sad thing………ban offshore drilling…
@NightforDays I thought so. It just sounded funny to say science instead of god. forgive me.
@mamushi72sai5575
I used the term “God bless these people” because the man at the end of the video said, “I love everything God created.” He projected that this wildlife he spent his life working with is the creation of his God. I hope they find a place to move to where they can continue working in a natural habitat.
This sort of thing is so disturbing, Oh yea we will always have disasters as long as we have men to cause them, whether intentional or not it makes me scream like every one else, i really feel for these people and the wild life, everythings a mess.
@NightforDays
science bless these people
/watch?v=41DuKJIOjSM see my video with my pictures from my travels and stuff please comment and say if u like it or not 🙂 thx 🙂
@SeekerKC Well to be honest about it your exactaly right ,some of the tribes here have went back to teaching their language in their schools,witch ones I couldn’t tell you for we have several here in Oklahoma and I’m not Native American , well some Cherokee blood ,and the deal with them is a lot of them that wern’t full blood and didn’t look Indian didn’t want anyone to know it and never got on the tribal roles, in the old days it was considerd shameful,to be native American
@kamphwagon1 It’s rampant thru Native American tribes as a whole, really. You see short periods of resurgance when the youth become interested in ritual, tradition, & language, but there are too few. Now entire languages, folk & medicinal lore, & belief systems are lost. It’s easier to go to CVS to pick up meds than it is to dig tubers, I know, but the true price paid is incalculable. We are all the poorer (& unhealthier) for it. It’s times like these I wish I was smarter, you know?
it really makes me mad, that we have technology so advanced & they can’t fix this stupid oil spill, i bet like they don’t even care.. &+ everything is dying too.
thanks NG for not censoring this clip in Canada
Feel so sorry for those who are affected in these areas as much as the wildlife.
Damn our constant selfish ‘want’ for Oil & profits.
@Sharter189 ok. your awesome 😀
God bless these people
This community is no more… and anyone else who lives off fishing in Louisiana for that matter. No one wants to leave, but they’re gonna have to anyway. It’s gonna be a dead zone in a matter of months.
@tripleleap hahaha look at us arguing over this stupid shit =p
