Protecting the Kivalina Village in Alaska

By History Guru

Protect Our Landforms! Stop Global Warming NOW! Task Look out the window at the landscape of your area – what shapes do you see? Are there mountains? Flat land? Valleys or canyons? Every state has a unique shape. Did you know that the shape of the land around you will change over time? Wind, rain, or even human actions can cause the landforms around us to weather and erode. Sometimes, this is a natural part of the earth’s process. But other times, people can affect the earth by building, developing the land or pollution! Is this happening in your country? It’s up to you to find out. You will be researching the Kivalina Village in Alaska, research how it has changed over the past 100 years, and what people are doing today that could hurt it. Then, you’ll create a Public Service Announcement to tell your family and friends how they can help to protect the Kivalina Village in Alaska.
