VOICED : Alaska's indigenous people feel the heat of climate change

The video discusses the alarming rate of shoreline erosion affecting small villages in Alaska, forcing them to relocate and even rebury their dead. Walter Nelson tracks the land loss, noting significant erosion since 2014. A government study highlights that most of Alaska's indigenous communities face similar challenges. Villages like Napakiak and Quinn are preparing to move further inland. Climate change exacerbates the situation, with Alaska warming twice as fast as the global average, leading to permafrost melting and sinking houses. Communities are trying various methods to slow erosion, but the future remains uncertain.
