Abstract

Five years ago, the Exxon Valdez oil spill made dramatic headlines in glossy news magazines and on prime time TV. Tears came easy as images of oil-covered sea creatures pricked the world’s environmental conscience. After a few weeks, however, the world got distracted by other headlines. Not so the indigenous peoples in the Gull of Alaska. For them the effect was devastatingly real. When the ship struck two reefs and ran aground in March1989, about 250,000 barrels (around 10 million gallons) of oil were spilled in Prince William Sound, Alaska.
