The oil companies have been destroying southern Louisiana for decades. Very publicly.

Receiving the brunt of the impact have been the Native Americans for whom the region has been home for centuries.

headed and what we can look forward to came from a North Dakota wheat farmer who in the 1980s as he being forced off his three-generation family farm by agribusiness said:

When Shell Oil destroyed the Nigerian delta, we said nothing .

When Chevron destroyed Ecuador's rain forest, we said nothing.
