Stephanie Alexie's family faces increasing threats from flooding in Nunapitchuk, Alaska, a town impacted by climate change. The once stable land is now often submerged, isolating residents and endangering homes, like Alexie's, which have suffered damage. With a significant population in small homes and worsening environmental conditions, the situation highlights the vulnerabilities of Yup'ik villages in the face of accelerated warming in Alaska, which poses grave risks to their way of life and safety.
"In the last few years, seasonal transitions in the Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta have become more disruptive, and every spring, I find myself sitting on an island."
"With 26 people sharing our four-bedroom home, it already felt like it was bursting at the seams. There were too many things and no room."
