They aren't nomads now, and they don't want to move. But they HAVE to move because their houses are washing away. The question is whether they give up their local ties and become relatively rootless like the rest of us.

They have a right to ask for funding. The government helps people move out of flood prone neighborhoods in the lower 48 states. Grand Forks, ND and New Orleans, LA are examples. I think what will happen is that some will move to established cities, and others will gradually move their entire villages through a combination of federal, state, and private funding.

But to get back to my original point: I think a lot of those villages are toast regardless of whether global warming is the culprit.
