i don't need to tell people here in alaska what's happened. over the past few years i've been trying to make the rest of the country more aware. of a changing climate where you're already living and. following permafrost that threatens homes and infrastructure faster glacier melt rising seas melting sea ice that contributes to some of the fastest coastal erosion in the world and i've talked to folks whose villages are literally in danger of slipping away. and for many of those alaskans it's no longer a question of if they're going to relocate but when.
2:35 am
and my grandfather. used to say his new top will become one big. salary in 9 and. the river around us in one not high wind comes in. it's like this one big island surrounded by the larger. feel like it's getting danger danger every time it gets close. to us who knowns this one is one big village it's can come out snap. to swear on the permafrost are on the permafrost and newtok it's it's really heavy you know. and dislodged keeps coming off the ice and that and.

2:39 am
i have been in need talk strictly all my life and it has always been the same movie here we lose a number of feet of flanders. sure what is not the same it shares the extent of the eurozone because the weather isn't the same each year sometimes it curb bridge with us but most of time to. rid of into doesn't do last 150 feet of land from water washing line and a nurse on to the water's about 100 yards we are going to have a disaster if we don't move. we need to act as soon as possible before the water just force or it will lead us like cookie monster eating cookies. all the lands us paul down and. cannot pick up.
2:40 am
i strongly believe we can do this but we will need help this place is very important to us because how much hunting we do how much we move around a whole lot but the hardest thing we have to 1st is having no running water or earth or surely. we hunted buckets was which is a 5 gallon bucket for human waste they really don't get down into the water when it is for. according to the government it's about $230000000.00 climate change that like playing chess in a test checkmate us. please we need to make a move because we have the possible to might lose this battle. we'll just want to sit at a table no just like everyone else and just have a cup of tea. and laughing away with our cousins. life is too short to see a swimming 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 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 2 and set their children off to boarding school if they didn't live near the school so the challenge began. in that initial contact. i think were part of a 1st for murmur from across. the world were. you know when you go over the layers of. what started this problem there was a bar. the 1950s i was bringing to school so i used to cry. or
2:43 am
even cry for. the parts. corner our floor clear. the wrong side of. this. road. 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 miraculous solution. based drugs it's not the people who are chronic pain patients believe that their opiate prescription is working for them in the remedy piece it took to the price that they pay closer dependency and addiction to opiates the long term use there 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 it might be causing long term. this. is. better for us this down now what is happening into the permafrost ended up not

$300.00 pounds he knows he did it because it's melting it causes the rouge so how 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 a yeah but if you do walk along there why what's happening to all of the shoreline it's going to supporting my class last semester in the fall we went out there in the measure of how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year 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 that it is best and that means the river is 35 feet closer. how then what it was the year or so you guys think the rivers doing.
2:47 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 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. in the.
2:48 am
the snow looks or from the outside it's far from the community they're not originally from new. trouble ministers are actually 1st cousins tom and they 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 detroit minister for a new car chris and colmes originally i was like to be a tribal at ministry. with its schoolteacher in new intake there was. election dispute. in october 12th. the new card
2:49 am
from console. somebody who works there. said we've never had to. hide a while. and it's an excellent piece you were being accused of not having a tonight years of an election when we proved them 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 so once they suspended the elections 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
2:50 am
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 the top. row in the front. is created a lot of problems healthwise the know we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure road strollers you know dysentery and everything else just kind of was rampant through the villages. at certain times for not one full.
2:51 am
40. 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. the bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers come on 12 years and they leave they don't never study. i guess is just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008.
2:52 am
