i strongly believe we can do this but we will need to help this place a very important post 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 him and wish it we don't get down into the water when it is for. according to the government it's about $230000000.00 climate change like playing chess in a test checkmate us. please we need to make a move because we have a possible 2 room i'd lose this battle. we'll just want to sit at a table no just like everyone else and just have a cup of tea. laughing away with 3rd caused. life is too short to see a swim meet 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 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 you're rich or camp is the most prominent structure you have you can't go back there after

6:43 am
were. the parts. you're. the wrong side of. this. renewed not for school. of your star. it's 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
6:44 am
a stop on it. the consequences are what we have today. what a pandemic no certain you know born is just blind to nationalities. as americans we don't observe the we don't have the facts in the whole world needs to be the chief. judge of. comedy classes please mr. we can do better we should know. everyone is contributing to each of our own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been so many good

6:47 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.
6:48 am
these no groups or from outside the arts far from the community they're not originally from. troubled ministers actually 1st cousin tom and 1st because it's a tradition versus you know the new prostitution all majority way of thinking so you have that tremendous divide different philosophies together and stanley represents one side and tom represents the other side my name is strongly tom i'm the tribal minister for a newcomer to this and comes originally i was selected to be a tribal at nish. ward and you will it's schoolteaching new entity there was a election dispute. in october a tall. the new cars from council. somebody who works there. said we've never had to. hide

6:51 am
it's a stalled move. the frustration levels fairly high. 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 to. nor by any infrastructure at all live in the united states never existed 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. and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008. year career since. those moved in the village then.
6:52 am
