a swim meet to the nearest village that's about 40 miles and the water is to comb. you 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 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 2 and set their children off to boarding schools they didn't live near the school so the challenge began. in that initial contact. i think were a part of america 1st for america for cross. were. you know when you go over the layers of. what started this problem
5:43 pm
there was a bar. the 1950s i was bringing the school for i used to. work in the parts. the wrong side of her. on this. from your. own hard to understand what psychological impacts where and they said you no longer can to get 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
5:44 pm
5:45 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only. exist i don't see how. that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. better for us this down now what is happening into the permafrost ended up now
5:46 pm
being a talented melting did it 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 i'll be happy because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's it 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 and sometimes i wish to close you were close 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring. it is fast and that means the river is 35 feet closer to the town then left and it was the year before so you guys think that
5:47 pm
the rivers going to get. 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 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 are. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities.
5:48 pm
these no groups or from the outside. from the community they're not originally from new. troubled ministers are actually 1st cousins tom and 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 the tribal minister for a new car chris and colmes originally i was to be a tribal at ministry. with its schoolteacher in new intake there was a election dispute. in october or indeed to all.
5:49 pm
the new cars traditional council. somebody who works there. said we've never had an election. quite a while. and it's an excellent piece you. we're being accused of not having a tonight year's election when we moved in the wrong you have elected all of these i knew it was coming up. and someone 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
5:50 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 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 road strollers you know this interior and everything else just kind of was rampant through the villages at certain times for not want.
5:51 pm
holding. talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. the 1st ration 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 or so ever 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 study. and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008.
5:52 pm
