Indigenous land defenders block LNG terminal construction

subMedia.tv has obtained exclusive footage of indigenous land defenders, blocking energy company Petronas from building a liquified natural gas terminal on Lelu Island. Members of the 9 tribes of the coast Tsimshians say that Lelu Island and the banks surrounding it, are an essential habitat for migrating juvenile fish and other shellfish. They have made a call for physical and financial support so that they can keep Petronas out of their territories. To help them out visit http://bit.ly/leluisland
