you know their early contacts with the west stairs were mainly for trade with that 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 is probably your richer camp is the most prominent structure you have you can't go back there after you have to relocate your family here. they were not a one location people they were migratory and. in their way they were able to keep them there was too sick their children off to boarding schools they
7:41 am
didn't live near the school so the challenge began in that initial contact. i think were a part of america 1st for america. were. you know when you go. or to start a new cox problem there was a bar. the 1950s i was bringing the school for i used to. work in the parts. of. our floor here offload the wrong side of her. on this. trip road.
7:42 am
you know for school. from your star. hard to understand what the psychological impacts where and they said you no longer could do that to that and if you don't come here or taking your children so i would think that. and i know they talk about generational trauma when you have been doing this for 15000 years and then somebody puts a stop on it. the consequences are what we have today.

has changed many american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain and believe that their prescription is working for them and the remedy to be said to to the price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates is the long term use that really isn't scientifically justified and i'll study actually suggested that the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually that they might be causing long term. earth. a leak case. it's. better for us down to know what is happening into the
7:45 am
permafrost duded up now to tell you nobody did it because it's melting it causes the rouge so many people 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 a young. but if you do walk along there by what's happening to all of the shoreline it's going to be disappearing into my class last semester in the fall we went out there and we measured how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year. we lost about 35 feet sometimes i wish close you are close 35 feet of gravel in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is best and that means the river is 35 feet closer to the town then what it
7:46 am
was the year before so you guys think that the river is going yes. it's 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 and 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.
7:47 am
to. these new groups or from. the arts far from the community they're not originally from newtown are going to sit through troubled ministers actually. first cousin tom and 1st because it's 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 totally calm i'm very troubled minister for a new car chris and cons are essentially you know it's like to be a. ward in your own school it's a new intake there was a election dispute. in october 12th.
7:48 am
the new car traditional council. somebody who works there. said we've never had to. hide a while. and it's an accident these are you working accused of not having a 2 night years of election when we proved them wrong we had election and all these i knew it was coming up. and some of the smarter words began following the money and realizing some of the money's not accounted for while they actually suspended the elections so once they suspended the election there was a there was a feeling that the community was being left out of the process yeah they were scheduled to leave in 2012. but through the division and the infighting and some of the you know bureaucratic issues just being stalled as it stands now the federal
7:49 am
government cannot. contract with either group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of the. it's a shock when it comes down to have some 3rd world shack it's basically. a last resort for people who want to live in really tough. going to. is created a lot of problems health what is a no we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure room smolders you know this interior and everything else is kind of one ramp through the village at certain times for not wanting for. everybody.
7:50 am
talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. the frustration levels fairly high so. 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 who live in the united states number just sitting in this is home there's no running water whatsoever so. it's a very crowded. the bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers call 12 years and they leave they don't never stop.
7:51 am
and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2000 a. year. since. moving to village then. everybody roots you could much see the wall. from my house to then. i could look out like we know you could see the water. now. it's close we can see the ways boston overland when it when it gets rough. before lies. we can see the land working away. back home they have these here we have hurricanes. and help people move in you do whatever you want to do it just seemed like i just taking forever i mean you
7:52 am
almost begin to go to school you know you're ready now. i guess that's just what's. tears me up and said. thank you no come on man these people these people are just like us there's no difference and these people and the people all for you. we all. human is it all just a little village 3300 people it's no big up and that's what i don't think it's no big deal it is a big do some big deal it's their lives. the .
7:53 am
7:54 am
a part of america. it might be americans or diggers or 3rd world country and there's fitna to curious. kind of new turkeys thinking. the whole time you could really see it. so how is might be too late. in half a town to be moved to the new set by now but the power struggle and money greed to too much money are too. far tyrone and putting in their parking. just stood. up over the money team and so.
7:55 am
7:56 am
my. nothing to do toughen up yeah yeah. but i. like people. who look if somebody can get altitude or to a degree and like to back so you have some eye for man with 2 or 3 bags this is for me this is for my sister this is for my brother do you know what he says is the use of the gym doing open gym as well as he wants candy to go under the tree. or a lot. is

has changed american lives but pharmaceutical companies have a miraculous solution. based drugs the people who are chronic pain believe that their opioid prescription is working for them on the remedy be sent to. closer dependency and addiction to opiates to long term use that really isn't scientifically. actually suggests that. the long term effects might not just be the absence of benefit but actually the long term. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i
8:00 am
don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. the european union is currently holding an emergency session on the political crisis and with russia warning the bloc not to meddle in domestic affairs. but it's good you should be a little secret just as you we are deeply concerned about what's going on right now in better roosts we are concerned by the attempt to exploit to the internal challenges facing bella bruce to interfere in them from a group. all for this hour the us democrats formally nominate joe biden as their runner in 2020 but as the party of his campaign promises a. hawkish past could come back to haunt him. and a military uprising and sweeps the president from power.
