A tribe in Ecuador has turned to tourism as a way to protest opposition to oil drilling.
The Achuar Tribe is a partner in the Kapawi Ecolodge and Reserve in the Amazon. Most of the employees at the high-end resort are tribal members.
Plans call for the tribe to take full control of the resort in 2011.
