Aleut Story
In the turbulence of war, the Aleuts of Alaska would redefine themselves – and America. From indentured servitude and being put into concentration camps during World War II, to Congress and the White House, this is the incredible story of the Aleuts' decades-long struggle for our nation's ideals. Special guest author/poet Marie Huskey (Unangan/Aleut) to start the screening.
The film series was established to provide quality documentaries and films by and about Native Americans, and bring together a central gathering place where discussion and news can be shared with the community and its supporters.
For More information on the film series please nafilmseries@aol.com or visit www.mypsace.com/nafilmseries
The film series is held at the National Center for Preservation of Democracy located at 111 North Central Avenue, between 1st Street and Central Avenue, in downtown Los Angeles.
