What to Focus On

  • Newtok is a Yup'ik village near the Bering Sea.
  • About 380 people live in the village.
  • The Yup'ik people settled in Newtok in 1949.
  • Thawing permafrost makes the ground weak and unstable.
  • Erosion and storm surges damage the village.
  • Rising seas increase coastal and riverbank erosion.
  • Mertarvik is the new relocation village.
  • It is on higher ground on Nelson Island, about ten miles southeast of Newtok.
  • The government agreed to create Mertarvik in 2003.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Newtok is the new village and Mertarvik is the old village being left behind.

Thawing permafrost only means the ground gets wet, so it is not a serious problem.
