About this listen
It took Albert Naquin, the Chief of the Jean Charles Choctaw Nation, over 20 years and two failed attempts to move his tribe from Isle de Jean Charles, a tiny barrier island at the tip of Louisiana’s Terrebonne Parish. Since the 1950s, the Isle has lost 98% of its landmass. And with a federal grant of over $48 million awarded to the state of Louisiana in a national competition, Chief Albert’s plan started to become reality. The Isle de Jean Charles resettlement was positioned as a pilot program for other US communities in need of climate relocation. But then, a letter landed on the Governor’s desk and changed everything.
