Quinault Indian Nation, relocating to preserve heritage

Fawn Sharp, president of the Cornell Indian Nation, discusses the sacred connection to their village in Western Washington, which is threatened by climate change. The village faces flooding and extreme weather, prompting emergency declarations. The solution involves relocating 1,000 people to higher ground at a cost of $65 million. The new location is safer and embraced by the younger generation, who will inhabit it. The community aims to design a secure future while preserving their cultural heritage.
