Most of the 400 residents — filled with dreams of a new village with running water, better homes and, perhaps, a chance at a job — want to leave. ... Village leaders have squabbled for years with state and federal officials over relocating, which could cost as much as $250 million.

Kind of a pricey village.

Yep. Ever notice Israelis are all “settlers” and that “Palestinians” all live in “refugee camps”? The news media doesn’t purposely misuse word meanings to push their agendas, do they?

The cause of Kivalina, Alaska beach erosion is mysterious.

Maybe the ocean has some effect.

"Kind of a pricey village."

Hey, maybe they're sick of the cold weather and want a nice island in the South Pacific...

Thats the island????

It’s a tiny NOTHING!

Looks more like a sandbar!

You cant expect THAT to last forever.

Unbelievable.

It could be four times bigger and I would not expect something like that to last.

How about we offer to move them to Tuvalu in the South Pacific?

But ... But It Is Sinking Too!

Some of the villages were repopulated with ANCSA which gave each Alaska Native 160 acres in his traditional stomping grounds.

Global Warming: Yes!
Man-made: No!

Mars is warming too... The Rover is belching billions of tons of CO2 every day, no doubt.

Forget any solution, just give money and centralized power to the Anti-Christ... He will save the World!!

“Kind of a pricey village.”

The one they live in now? No.

The one they want to move into? He!! Yes.

“new village with running water, better homes and, perhaps, a chance at a job “

Modern, better homes, and guaranteed employment don’t come cheap.

My house will be underwater....sometime....
I want the same deal. GIMMEGIMMEGIMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Maybe they shouldn’t have built their houses on the petrified remains of a giant whale shark.

Almost a million dollars, per person, to relocate - and the current village DOESN”T EVEN HAVE RUNNING WATER!
Honestly, give them FEMA trailers.

I wish the govt. had paid me that kind of money to move when I was in the Navy. 250 mil divided among 400 residents is $625,000 each. As a 20 year old Navy guy renting apartments, I had less stuff. I would’ve settled for a piddly $200,000 per move, that’s fair, right?!

No joke, I’m amazed that there’s this much of it left after 100 years. I was watching a documentary on a murder that happened in coastal Louisiana in the 1950s. They wanted to investigate the murder scene with new technology to maybe find more clues. Just one problem, the murder scene is now 150 yards offshore under 15 feet of water.
