I heard a report on NPR's All Things Considered (or, it may have been Morning Edition) a few days ago. They interviewed Eskimos in one village who wanted the drilling due to the economic development it would bring, and they interviewed Eskimos in a village that didn't want it, because of the potential danger to the wildlife, which is still their method of survival.
So, there's no one opinion among the native residents. Not surprising.
