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 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 richard camp is the most permanent structure you have you can't go back there after you have to relocate your family here.
8:41 pm
they were not a one location people they were migratory and. and the way they were able to keep them there was to 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 a part of america 1st for america for cross. were. you know when you go over the layers of. what started this problem there was a bar. the 1950s provers bringing the school. parts
8:42 pm
. 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 a stop on it. the consequences are what we have to.

8:46 pm
mobile the house because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's a you know but if you do walk along there why what's happening to all over. sure it's going to be disappointing if you do 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 sometimes i wish to close you are close 35 feet of gravel 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 we live and it was the year before so you guys think that the rivers going yes.
8:47 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. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities. to. these no groups or from. the arts far from the community they're not originally

a while. and it's. nice you were being accused of not having a 2 night years of election when we proved them wrong we 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 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 being stalled as it stands now the federal government can. contract with the group so what they did was they basically took the contract out of.
8:50 pm
it's a shack. when it comes down to have some 3rd world shack it's basically. a last resort for people who want to live in the early to. go 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 dysentery unit and everything else is kind of one ramp through the villages at certain times for not wanting for. everybody. and then talks been moving for the last 10 years it's
8:51 pm
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 this is home there's no running water whatsoever so. it's a very crowded. in the bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers call 12 years and they leave they don't never stay. and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2000 a. year. since. moving to village
