J have taken trips to Kivalina and stayed in the village. It consists of wonderful people and nice homes. I do not find it ramshackled. I do wish the the governent would move Kivalina and it's great people to a site that the people of Kivalina want. I hope to come and visit again . I love the people who live there and this part of Alaska
