'Twilight's' Quileute Tribe Fights to Regain Land | PBS NewsHour | July 16, 2012 | PBS
In the nearby Olympic Mountains, glaciers have lost about one third of their mass in the past 30 years, and the resulting ice melt has led to sea level rise. For tribal elders like Chris Morganroth, that means one thing: tsunami danger.
"Because of the water rising and the ocean, a wave that's created by that tsunami is probably going to reach farther into the rivers," Morganroth said. "If it happened a hundred years ago, it was probably not as devastating as it might be today."
