“I will be 18 tomorrow, and every year I see the land slowly decreasing. People call it climate change; others call it big bologna. In real life, if they actually came up here and lived with us for a few years, they would see what we are talking about and what we are going through, year by year. Berries and animals are coming quicker than usual. It's a big change for us. Prices have even gone up in town. I am not even that old you know? Things have changed in a short amount of time.” — Lynden Weyiouanna is Inupiaq and lives in Shishmaref, Alaska.
