Photo of the life of Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts.
Global warming and rising water levels in the Pacific ocean are forced Alaska natives – Indians, Eskimos and Aleuts – to get away from the coast inland.
In a new place, many settled on the same type of houses that resembles construction trailers.
In Newtake live 375 upicom – representatives of indigenous people related to the Eskimos. The settlement was founded in 1959, however, in 2017 the tallest building Newtok – school – may be flooded due to rising water.
After that, locals will probably have to move to a new place in Mertarvik, located 15 kilometers from the coast.
