Native Village of Shishmaref

About

Shishmaref, Alaska is located on a ¼ mile-wide and three-mile long barrier island (Sarichef Island) in the Chukchi Sea. Shishmaref, inhabited for over 4,000 years, is a federally-recognized traditional Inupiat Eskimo village, which leads a fishing and subsistence lifestyle. This barrier island is incredibly susceptible to loss of property, infrastructure, and life due to coastal erosion, thawing permafrost, and flooding issues.
