I know this is very politicaly incorrect, but are Eskimos going to move to Samoa?
Well won’t they be surprised by ‘climate change’...

I’ve seen the video and it’s interesting.
I wonder how long it would take before somebody realized they were all dead?
I just watched this video Thursday and it was very interesting and I enjoyed it.
Just wow.
I was actually watching this video an hour ago..
A town? Isn’t it more of an HOA?
Whittier, Alaska - big whoop. But it was near the epicenter of the 9.x quake in 1964. Take the car train through the rail tunnel off the main Anchorage highway.
That’s funny. I expected 30-40 smelly people living in an expanded yert...with the animals. This is a full-fledged town with bars, museums, city govt building. Would love to visit.
Just for fun, I searched Zillow for any property available there, sales or rentals...zip, zero, nada. There was one sold last year... a 1400sf condo in maybe another local building. Sales are probably thru word-of-mouth, though.
Very interesting video. Thanks!
Quite familiar with the little ‘city’ living in an old WWII building.
Locally called ‘Whitidots’ - drug use rampart, if you drive there, be careful.
The other big building in Whittier - the infamous Buckner building.

Very enjoyable - thanks for posting. Would someone please explain what was so special about the bathroom that was shown - Hawaiian motif? I didn’t get it and it went by so fast - something hanging from the ceiling?
Well, there were very few Ans in Alaska, so now they have Samoans.
That is one place that is not going to gamble it’s future on windmills and solar panels for their survival.
I motorcycled to Whittier on my trip to Prudhoe Bay from New Mexico. Weather was bad as we waited to be allowed to ride through the tunnel and the locals said, “don’t worry, the weather’s shittier in Whittier”... They were right.
