Ecuador: Native Peoples Meet the Oilmen
Ecuador: Native Peoples Meet the Oilmen In the America's with David Yetman

Chinese oil interests are scouring the ancestral lands of Huaorani people for petroleum. The results are varied and controversial as the Hauorani lands and pristine rain forest are invaded by oil explorers and their machines.
