8:41 am
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 a stop on it and the consequences are what we have to. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. humanity has never seen such strange natural phenomena before coming to this
8:42 am

a country about which they knew almost nothing at all some of the rear troops who were through during the night. found great crowds. to move a few you're going to go through you and now almost a 100 years later the history is repeating itself my great grandfather george time i went through russia. probably the worst. to go anywhere why not me. what if i come here. problem drugs don't always come from unscrupulous dealers but from pharmacies to in every state in the united states we see me very sharp increase in the number of people seeking treatment for addiction to prescription opioids invaded america under the banner of medicine he persisted with the pain but instead of trying to

a religion so how many people have gone and walked along the edge of the river. lots of people you wish know full well i'll be happy because that's where you guys don't your honey but it's it you know 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 there and we measured how much the religion was how much you think we lost last year he. we lost about 35 feet and sometimes i wish to close you were close 35 feet of ground in just about 3 months while we were measuring that it is fast 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.
8:47 am
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 are. prompted by this river here moving in and rooting their communities. in the. us. the snow groups are from outside the
8:48 am
ice far from the community they are not urgently 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 you have that tremendous divide different philosophies together and stanley represents one side and tom represents you know. my name is only tom i'm the tribal minister for new produce and colmes recently 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 a tall. the new car from council. somebody who works there. said we've never had to. hide
8:49 am
a while. and it's an accident yes you were being accused of not having it us 8 to 9 years of election when we moved in we had election all these years i know 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 and 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 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.
8:50 am
it's a shack when it comes down to some 3rd world shack it's basically. a last resort for people who want to live in really tough. going from. is created a lot of problems health what is a no we've been to the clinic several times in our family structure really small there's this interior and everything else is kind of one ramp through the village and at certain times for nor want to. call it. talks been moving for the last 10 years
8:51 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 ignored by any infrastructure all who live in the united states number just. there's no running water. so. it's a chronic. bush is really not for everybody. because a lot of teachers come on 12 years and they leave they don't never studied. and i guess it's just a culture shock to. we came in 2000 some 2008.
8:52 am
year career since. those move in the village then. everybody good smile if you could might see the water from my house to then. could look out like we look out now you could see the the water. now. it's close we can see the ways bussin over the land when it when he gets roast. before the ice up. we can see the land working away. back home they have these here we have hurricanes they are already and help people move and do whatever they want to do is just saying 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
