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.

Where has sea level risen?!
So, TO the beach or away from the beach?
Liberia
they fish...they wanted to be by the water.......we turned them into a third world country
It rises twice everyday. It can only be fixed by destroying the moon. Oops, I didn’t mean to bring real science into the discussion. Sorry about that.
ALMIGHTY GOD set the boundary of the seas.. Unless He says so, the seas aren’t going anywhere.
10% to Heap Big Chief.
Government's bright, brand new idea: round them all up and put them inside centers we can call reservations. Locked in, no rights, no freedom. This will promote cooperation between them and outside communities.
Didn’t take the tribes long to learn how to milk the system. “A fool (and in this case, a dimmocommie government) and his money are easily parted,” wrote Ben Franklin, and he was right.
Just move them to either one of B-HO’s coastal properties. They seem to be magically invincible to such mentioned climate perils.
Spending more money we do not have.
Funny. They make so much money on casinos it’s insane, and pay no taxes on reservations. Why do you think Seinfeld hosts his shows there once in awhile?
Oh great...
Brandon’s “Trail of Fears”
The vast majority of native lands are held in trust by the US government. The Feds have rights of ownership to all resources on those lands. This is clearly an Agenda 21
move disguised as something called climate change.
quote “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”
huh?
there isn’t a single community on earth that is being washed away!
what is this IDIOT talking about!?!?!
They are moving them because they want their land for something. Biden speaks and lies with forked tongue.
They never do anything without some ulterior motive.
Moving them off the energy producing fields so the govt can have the income.
