know their early contacts with the stairs were mainly for trade with the trade of course and government and so with the government came either a post office or school so wherever they placed those structures where these communities were told that you have to now live so regardless if your main camp which would probably your which are camp is the most prominent structure you have you can't go back there after you have to relocate your family here.
1:42 am
they were not a one location people they were migratory and. in their way they were able to keep them there was 2 and sick their children off to boarding school if they didn't live near the school and so the challenge began. in that initial contact. i think were a part of america 1st for murmur from across. the world were. you know when you go read the layers of. what started a new problem there was a bar. the 1950s i was bringing him to school for.
1:43 am
parker river. and parts. of. our floor here off the road round the wrong side of. on this. trip road. b.r. the school over in the north for school. being dropped out of your study . hard to understand what psychological impacts where and they said you no longer can do that through that and if you don't come here are taking your children so i would think that. and i know they talk about generational trauma and when you have been doing this for 15000 years and then somebody puts the stop

better for us down you know what is happening into the permafrost ended up now 300 pounds you know he did it because it's melting it causes the rouge so many people have gone and walked along the edge of the river. lots of people you wish know full well off to the house because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's it you know but if you do walk along there why what's happening to all of the shoreline it's going to supreme you might class last semester in the fall we went out there in the measure of how much the reversion was how much you think we lost last year and he. we lost about 35 feet sometimes i wish close you were close 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fest and that means the river is 35 feet closer. how then will what it was the year or so you guys think the river's doing.
1:47 am
is one thing to say the river is going to move you but this prompted a whole whole bunch of things this village is completely divided i mean there's just no way around you know to travel councils families don't talk to each other just all kinds of issues that have. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities.
1:48 am
these no groups or from the outside it's far from the community they're not originally from. troubled ministers actually 1st cousins tom and and family are 1st because it's a tradition versus you know the new prostitution or majority way of thinking so you have that tremendous divide different philosophies together and stanley represents one side and tom represents the other so my name is strongly tom i'm very troubled minister for a newcomer to this and comes. to be a tribal at ministry board in europe with its own school teaching new intake there was. election dispute. in october 12th.

1:50 am
government can not. contract with either group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of the. it's a shack when it comes down to some 3rd world shack it's basically. a last resort for people who want to live in really tough. going from. is created a lot of problems health wise know we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure road strollers you know just interior and everything else just kind of was rampant through the villages. at certain times for not one full.
1:51 am
holding. talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. some frustration levels fairly high. sometimes you wonder if they're doing this on purpose. i mean really when you come down to it this could be a foreign totally foreign country ignored by any infrastructure all live in the united states never just sitting in this is home there's no running water whatsoever so. it's a very crowded. in the bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers come on 12 years and they leave they don't never stay.
1:52 am
