Sundance Chief Rueben George

Far from the spotlight of Rio+20, there are a lot of people trying get their causes recognized.

One of them is Rueben George, Sundance Chief and Member of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The Tsleil-Waututh have been fighting against an oil pipeline expansion near their Canadian home.

Dianne Penn, who is in Rio de Janeiro, spoke with Sundance Chief Rueben about his tribe and some of the environmental issues they are facing.
