Heart of Gold: Neil Young Helps Bankroll First Nation’s Oilsands Battle [1]

"As the oilsands campaign co-ordinator for the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation, Eriel Deranger receives numerous queries from people concerned about the environmental effects of development. But Deranger was skeptical this summer when she received an email from a fellow who claimed to be an acquaintance of Neil Young’s, and said the rock singer was interested in visiting northern Alberta."



'How would I know if a guy sent me a picture where he had Photoshopped himself standing next to him?' Deranger said."

Marty Klinkenberg and Mariam Ibrahim report for the Edmonton Journal December 9, 2013. [2]
