“I cannot overstate this, but rapid warming in the Arctic is profoundly affecting the more than 400,000 Indigenous people who live there, and in many instances is upending their entire way of life,” said NOAA Administrator Richard Spinrad.
The remnants of Typhoon Merbok destroyed hundreds of miles of Alaska’s western coast in September, including this fish camp in the Nome area. The disaster is directly tied to climate change.
“I cannot overstate this, but rapid warming in the Arctic is profoundly affecting the more than 400,000 Indigenous people who live there, and in many instances is upending their entire way of life,” said Spinard. She said Native people are seeing in their lifetime the kind of change that used to occur over many generations. Schaeffer, who is originally from Kotzebue, said the fact that her people have endured is a reason for optimism.
