Native Yukon tribe fighting gas pipeline possibilities; may put a toll booth on Alaska Highway

A tribal group on the Canadian side of the Alaska border has a beef about being left out of natural gas pipeline negotiations, and is threatening to take it to the streets — or, more accurately, to the Alaska Highway, which runs through their territory. The White River First Nation says it will resist all attempts to put a pipeline there. And if nobody wants to pay for the right of way, they will look for other sources of income, such as a toll booth.
