one thing about me is that i love my home. i can’t imagine having to evacuate one day and never knowing if i could come back
but that’s a real crisis for kipnuk, and many other alaska tribes
so it’s very important that we support and vote for leaders who recognize and support this issue in alaska

wow! kipnuk is voting to relocate their village
alaska doesn’t have reservations, but the native village of kipnuk is a federally recognized tribe
could you imagine your tribe having to vote on relocating to a safer area because of climate change? dozens of alaskan tribes have/will have to soon
