marginals i have to do get out of state iraq right now journals about their worries about the floods i don't think i as a catch on fire but fire has fled it as the very next thing they all wrote on their route was that our us flooded we would grab. some of the box of pictures. so. they've obviously been stressing about it a lot of. things hard. what are you. a burglar but it. was. my 1st year here which was 15 years ago. i thought. you see these commercials you know about helping other countries and i'm thinking look at this place. and why isn't there commercial to help the people here like there's not running water in the houses and and there's you know the so they still
7:31 pm
have this honey look at system they have to haul their water like this is not america anymore you know not the america i grew up in this is like wow. newtok is a very rural. community with their language and their culture and their subsistence it's really strong here still and that's a good thing but worst case scenario my fear is that a couple of houses are lost families are displaced and have to move to other communities or bethel with other family members and that yeah this that that new village doesn't get built quick enough for new talk to move there and then it the community ends up disrepair out.

you know this is the bigger the truck. for folks who believe that sense of belonging still is taken away so then you have to try to reestablish that. you're not thank you every day that i got a whole lot of money here you get those conveniences but what you lose is the access to food and the access to community and when you're part of a tribe it's very difficult to leave and not kill a sense of loss. to see this gas station or. someone going to some guy was shot here last summer got killed right there to the gas station

7:55 pm
i have to ask them please be patient. please be patient. you know waiting 22 years. it's another month or 2. and think about it if another country threaten to wipe out an american town we do everything in our power to protect it. climate change poses the same threat right now. and that's why i care so deeply about this if we do nothing and temperatures in alaska are projected to rise between 6 and 12 degrees by the end of the century . and that's runs all of us with hardship not just. people up north.
