Excerpt: A Word of Warning to Chevron shareholders: (snip) The indigeneous tribes in the region once looked to the fertile rivers for their food supplies. Those rivers are now dead. And deadly. Many who remain suffer from a precancerous dermatological disease. Women report a marked increase in spontaneous abortions. In some villages, the number of cancer cases already far exceeds expected norms. Those who are left of the indig. tribes who had inhabited the area for centuries are suing Texaco for the loss of their way of life and the endangerment of their health, as well as for the cost of their medical treatment and the clean up of their vast lands. During the years of Texaco's exploitation, disease and forced migration reduced one tribe's population from 15,000 to a few hundred.
