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?

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

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

“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 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?!
