and so there's marginals i have to do general statements iraq right now journals about their worries about the flats i don't think are as a catch and fire but fire house let it as the very next thing they all wrote on their route was that our us let it 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. i've heard. how. 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
2:31 am
there's not running water in the houses and and there's you know they still 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.
2:32 am
well 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 the
2:33 am
gas station a boy or somebody got shot and killed just last week to reconfigure another guard or shot. there was a couple gunshots at night time. so like i'm 44 and. comparing. to city keep track of your kids 247 cancers what about a village like they do. take some interesting. things . taken off the stage. you know. somebody trick.
2:34 am
probably something happened to my opinion and i don't like the way. you're doing what they call pioneer approach. which means that all the cost and health and everything like that. are going to cannes small kids are 6. pack. and they said fine. we'll move 5 years some are 14 this is within 5 years and all you know. well. from my perspective it isn't it's just a has become a milk cow for the pressure on stevie's and sees where they say hey let's let's do a study list let's let's do this and will fulfil our budget here in anchorage and fairbanks and somewhere else nor make a living for us at the expense of new talk people.

2:45 am
the ribbon kind of at the news site not the pic was basically orchestrated to. celebrate 6 this 2017 construction season and the celebration was not only to how. congratulate the tribe in the community for perseverance through the process and getting to this point but to also help them recognise that things are happening and there is hope for their future and that they're not just before but. they're. very shrewd. better as. a stage in this. you know to start building. i heard to support it and i'm losing home to this this coming fall. during all star is this what people are afraid of.
2:46 am
and there's actually a family. moving pitching a tent over at discovery because they're afraid. that albertine she is afraid of me going to cool their marriage for a crime then it won't 10 i'm not going to stay where. i'm scared for my cute. i am scared won't make. me laugh and that highway and. for kate. anything i ate didn't let me. think that. and i had a when. they need help now. i know.

2:50 am
and we're. at a new belief. and as you can see a turn. to lay down in a base and which will be the for the next several years for us as we roll in every summer you're one of the questions i get asked all the time is move in alaska native village how come you guys do what you guys do now is that you can find a thing better to do the truth of the matter is the marine corps has no business in relocating an alaska native village that's not what we do but what we do we do is train our brains and sailors and the other service personnel involved in expeditionary engineering projects and to do something so far away from home if you will in the remote alaskan tundra in a difficult place to get to by boat by air every kind of way this is exactly the
2:51 am
type of challenge training opportunity i think it's a good thing for the region it's a good thing for. the residents to really see the start of this. is going to take a while it's not happening fast enough but you know to have all the assets united states government involved in this project is pretty amazing. i'm glad it's here. is. the most favorable conditions i think. also allows. the community to gradually build. as the infrastructure comes food water shelter got the food 95 percent subsistence lifestyle because they
2:52 am
didn't have access to a story they still live water they have cleaner water their water has been a challenge in newtok. boil water notice for over 10 years and so having access to clean drinking water is huge. and that shelter you know the homes and you talk it's all i can we were not built for the arctic they were not built for that and vironment. and there are 18 that were on it because they weren't designed for that plates. on. this one. note. some of the nation's 1st.
2:53 am
struck with problems i want to have another. i don't mind paying down the. 24 years we have to with there's fresh water. and i'm going to move across there. soon. pioneer. no way from locked in cage there's a lot of my clothes my stuff i stink i took my stuff i'm almost ready for. you to do this. part. but. we were told we'd movie houses 2016 and i was so excited i told. might make each day going to move warehouses next year 2016 came.
2:54 am
and. then they should i guarantee you they would move the house just 2070. still nothing. their store and their ocean won't say let's wait until 2018. cause one of. our people have been waiting for over 20 years for this opportunity. they've been waiting patiently to work is. here. and i have to. i have to ask them please be patient. please be patient. you know waiting 22 years. it's another month or 2.
2:55 am
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 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 hardships not just. people up north. there are many other places in america that have to deal with those questions right now but there will be. what's happening here. is. america's wakeup call it should be the world's microphone.
2:57 am
2:58 am
anyone else so small seems wrong. but all in all just don't call. me old yet to shake out these days to come out ahead and in the game trade because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know we dealing with a global pandemic in the viral type infecting people causing chaos and mayhem but that's small change compared to the mind virus bit coy. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of
2:59 am
their descendants still live in russia. looking at the risk because you know no rush but i thought it was tough yes it. was one thing and your bios at the. back home like american suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. real lybia losing show them one by else a store on. so they decided to leave everything behind and start a new life in a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the rear groups who were through during the night. found great crowds. to move a few you're going to call. you and now almost a 100 years later history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time went to russia. probably the worst time to go anywhere why not me.
3:00 am
why don't i come here. with racial tensions boil over in the united states days before the election is philadelphia shaken by a 2nd night of violent protests looting and after a black man was shot dead by police. fury of. the muslim countries possible attacks on the. citizens of. the same time is stepping up its crackdown on suspected. russia becomes one of the 1st countries. to register.
