The small islands around Alaska’s Bering Sea are remote, bleak, and cold. The Aleut people living there are trying to maintain their community and livelihood in the now multinational fishing industry, but a housing shortage is keeping them out. This program examines a federal housing effort that is meeting the challenge of building homes that can withstand 110-mile-an-hour winds and snow, on an island with no trees or rocks, and the nearest building supply store 600 miles away. Part two of the program visits South Dakota’s dry, dusty plain, where Lakota Indians join President Jimmy Carter, along with two thousand volunteers, in constructing thirty new homes on their reservation.
