    Vanishing Homelands

    Quichua Indians and Oil

    Government officials, industrialists, and Indian activists are staking out turf in a battle over the future of Ecuador’s Amazon.

    In this story, Sandy Tolan and Nancy Postero visit two Quichua Indian towns with radically different attitudes toward oil development. At the center of the dispute is an ARCO oil rig in the heart of the jungle.

    Narration is by Edward James Olmos, who hosted a series of 13 half-hour Vanishing Homelands specials.
