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.
5:35 pm

5:39 pm
year we lose a number of feet of flanders sure what is not the same it shares the extent of the euros and because the weather isn't the same each year sometime mid career bridge with us but most of time with the. rig into doesn't do last 150 feet of land from water washing the line and the nurse on to the water's about 100 yards we are going to have a disaster if we don't move. we need to at best soon as possible before the water just force or it will lead us like cookie monster eating cookies. all the land just falls down and. cannot pick up.
5:40 pm
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 us or surely. we hunted buckets was which is a 5 gallon bucket for human waste it we don't get down into the water when it is for. according to the government it's about $230000000.00 climate change is like playing chess in a test checkmate us. please we need to make a move because we have the possible to remind to lose this battle. will just want to sit at a table you know or is just like everyone else and just have a cup of tea. and laughing away with 3rd cousins. life is too short to see a swimming. and the waters to.
5:41 pm
you know their early contacts with the west stairs were mainly for trade with that trade of course and government and so with the government came in here a post office or school so wherever they placed those structures is where these communities were told that you have to now live so regardless if your main camp which would probably year which are camp is the most permanent structure you have you can't go back there after you have to relocate your family here.
5:42 pm
they were not a one location people they were migratory and. in their way they were able to keep them there was 2 and 6 their children off to boarding school if they didn't live near the school and so the challenge began. in that initial contact. i think were a part of america 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 1000 feet. over is bringing the school from. the
5:43 pm
parts. of. our floor here. the wrong side of. this. road. for school. from your star. hard to understand what 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 the stop on it and
5:44 pm
the consequences are what we have to. in the 1920 s. and thirty's several 100 african-americans moved to the soviet union and many of their descendants still live in russia. or being at the coast of cuba and on the west bus though up most of us it got worse of going things on your way. back home black americans suffered from racism and a complete lack of prospects. is that lump us much real lybia losing one by elsa store on but by doing. 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 african americans who were to still be here in the united curity found great secret.
5:45 pm
lulay a dwarf you going to call. you and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time i went to russia. probable worst time to go anywhere why not me. when i come here. computer communications were better than human and their communication 30 does a lot of things better than we do so the possibility not just being restricted with their brains we go out with a fine art no group growing stuff but even today even just combining true human brime studio. similarly has a lot of the advantages. yes
5:46 pm
. for us this down now what is happening into the permafrost now during it so i don't really know that it did because it's melting it causes the rouge so how many people gone and walked along the edge of the river. lots of people you wish mobile well i'll be happy because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's a yeah but if you do 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
5:47 pm
there and we measured how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year. we lost about 35 feet sometimes i wish close you were 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 left and it was the year before so you guys think that the river is going yes. 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
5:48 pm
just all kinds of issues that have. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities. these no groups are from the outside it's far from the community they're not originally from. troubled ministers actually 1st cousins tom and 1st because it's a tradition versus you know the new prostitution or majority way of thinking so
5:49 pm
you have that tremendous divide different philosophies together and stanley represents one side and tom represents the other so my name is only tom i'm the tribal minister for a new to this and comes originally i was selected to be a tribal at nish. ward and you will it's schoolteaching new into it there was a election dispute. in october on day 12. the new cars from council. 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 it use a 2 night years of election when we moved you had election all these years i know it was coming up. and some of the smarter words began following the money and
5:50 pm
realizing some of the money's not accounted for while they actually suspended the elections so once they suspended the election 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 there stalled the issue as it stands now the federal government cannot. contract with either group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of. an ear. it's a shack when it comes down to some 3rd world check it's basically. a last resort
5:51 pm
for people who want to live in the early to. go into the front. is 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 villages at certain times or not if you want to pull. it out of. holding. talks been moving for the last 10 years it's a stalled move. the 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 and this is all there's no running water wars
5:52 pm
all over so. it's of their product. the bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers calm 12 years and they leave they don't never studied. i guess is just a culture shock to. we came in 20072008 school year and we're since. those moved in the village then. everybody roots mill you couldn't much see the water from my house to then. could look out like we look out now you could see the water.
5:53 pm
now. it's close we can see the ways bussin over land when it when it gets rough. before the eyes. we can see the land working away. back home they have these here we have hurricanes they jump parady and help people move and do whatever they want to do is just sing like i just taken forever i mean you almost begin to go to school you know you're ready now. i guess that's just what's. tears me up and said. thank you no come on man these people these people are just like us there's no difference and these people and the people all for you and. we all are human and all it's just a little village 3300 people it's no big nothing that's what i'm thinking it's no big deal is
5:55 pm

5:56 pm
