On the remote Arctic coast of Alaska, the Indigenous village of Kivalina is fighting to survive as rising seas, coastal erosion, and increasingly destructive storms threaten its future. We traveled to this isolated community for 72 hours, staying in a local school and meeting residents whose families have lived in the region for generations. During one storm in 2004, parts of the village lost more than 40 feet of shoreline, and plans are underway to relocate the community approximately seven miles inland. But not everyone is willing to abandon the land, hunting grounds, and traditions that define their lives. This journey explores the extraordinary resilience of a community facing the possibility of losing its home.
