Our debt to places that are sinking

Our debt to places that are sinking Tyler J. Kelley © JOSH HANER The village of Isle de Jean Charles, La., surrounded by the rising waters of the Gulf of Mexico. In a few years the school at Newtok, Alaska, will be in the river. As the permafrost melts, the land that the village was built on, in the low-lying Yukon River Delta, is softening. Unfrozen ground erodes quickly, and Newtok, an Alaska Native village of 300, is losing up to 90 feet of shoreline per year. The school is why Newtok was put here in the first place. It was the farthest upriver that a Bureau of Indian Affairs barge could travel with construction materials. Once the school was completed in 1958, the Yup’ik people who traditionally moved with the seasons had to stay put and enroll their kids. Today, staying put is untenable, but the Yup’ik people don’t have many options.
