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.

But then, a letter landed on the Governor’s desk and changed everything.
