Kivalina needs to relocate!
|
First discussion to relocate was in 1911 by the tribal council. A request to meet with BIA to discuss relocation up the Wulik River was in 1940. Then again in 1956 and 1990. We are still on the island 105 years later. According to predictions by NOAA, all coastal communities should be under water by 2025. That gives us nine (9) years.
