Biden administration commits millions of dollars to relocate Native tribes threatened by climate change

The Biden administration announced Wednesday a $135 million commitment to helping to relocate Native American tribes whose homes are threatened by the effects of climate change. Using money from the 2021 bipartisan infrastructure law, the voluntary community-driven relocation program, led by the Department of the Interior, will assist 11 tribes with adapting to climate change — or, when necessary, moving their communities altogether.

“As all of you know, there are tribal communities that are at risk of being washed away, washed away by superstorms, rising sea levels and wildfires raging,” President Biden said at the White House on Wednesday, speaking at his administration’s first Tribal Nations Summit, with which the announcement was timed to coincide. “It’s devastating.”

Biden said the funds will be used “to move, in some cases, their entire communities back to safer ground.”

Three coastal tribes that already are contending with flooding from rising sea levels and stronger storms are receiving grants to relocate. In Alaska, the Newtok Village and the Native Village of Napakiak, along with the Quinault Indian Nation in Washington state, are each receiving $25 million to help move their homes and businesses to higher ground.

Funny how Martha's Vineyard, Nantucket, and Malibu are not affected.

Quinault Indian Nation in Washington state.


What a joke!! This is just another “More Money For Ruling Tribal Families Program”. Pay offs to keep them voting Democrat, one of many, many bribes.

Apparently the Land O’ Lakes label was not sufficient. Now it’s time to revisit the Trail of Crocodile Tears.

History says that if the government wants the native lands, the lands have become more valuable to those in control. My advice to native Americans is to hold your ground.

Twice a day it rises. At full moon it rises higher than at new moon. This is all Trump’s fault./s

Maybe they can move to the safe beach front properties the Obamas have bought for their mansions.

Because there is no man-made climate change, it follows there can be no metrics to measure a nonexistent phenomena.

Which conveniently leaves the fabricators free to assign victim status as they please, and distribute your tax dollars to their preferred voting block.

This is not a joke. I thought it had to be a joke. Then I remembered what biden has already done, and I knew it was real.

How can the US do this? Indian tribes are a “sovereign nation” within this sovereign nation. They are not the USA.

Who can ‘splain?
