In a changing world, a remote Inupiaq community holds onto tradition

A remote village in Alaska called Shishmaref is home to an Indigenous Inupiaq community of about 550 people. That community's way of life is under threat as the ever-looming dangers of climate change speed up erosion, and government support to relocate them is nowhere in sight. National Geographic Explorer Paul Salopek paid a visit to Shishmaref as part of his Out of Eden Walk, tracing the path of human migration, and tells Host Carolyn Beeler all about it.
