you know their early contacts with the west 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 is probably you're rich or 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 to and set their children off to boarding schools they

a town to mil's it did because it's melting it causes a religion so how many people have gone and walked along the edge of the river. lots of people you wish know full well are the have because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's a you know but if you do walk along there by what's happening to all of the shoreline it's going to supporting 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 i was close you were close 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring that it is fast and that means the river is 35 feet closer to the town than loving it was the year before so you guys think that the river's going to get.
5:46 pm
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 are. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities.
5:47 pm

5:48 pm
never had to. hide a while. and it's. nice you were being accused of not having a tonight year's election when we moved in the wrong you had electric all these years 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 once they suspended the elections and 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 the stalled as it stands now the federal government cannot. contract with either group so what they did was they basically
5:49 pm
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 and we talked. about. is created a lot of problems health what is a no we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure road strollers you know dysentery and everything else just kind of one rampant through the villages at certain times for not wanting.
5:50 pm
talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. some 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 live in the united states never 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 come on 12 years and they leave they don't never studied. i guess is just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008.
