4:42 pm
they were not a one location people they were migratory and. in their way they were able to keep them there was to and sit 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 a part of america 1st for america for cross. were. you know when you had to go over the layers of. what started new cox problem there was a bar. the 1950s i was bringing the school so i took. part
4:43 pm
. in the parts. moskow corner our floor clear off the road around the wrong side of a are. on this. off road. b.r.d. school or borough very near for school. you're starting to go. hard to understand what the psychological impacts where and they said you're no longer can to get to 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 for 15000 years and then somebody puts the stop on it

4:47 pm
but it's a you know but if you. you 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 in the measure of how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year. we lost about 35 feet i was 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 and then we look at it was the year before so you guys think that the river is going yes.
4:48 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 have popped up. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities. to. these new groups or from. the arts far from the community they're not originally
4:49 pm

a 2 night years of election when we proved them wrong you had elected 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 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 being stalled as it stands now the federal government cannot. contract with either group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of the.
4:51 pm
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 a way to. grow into. it's 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 full. new talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. the frustration levels fairly high so.
4:52 pm
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 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 come on 12 years and they leave they don't never stop. and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2000 a. year. since. moving to village.
