i exhibit
the perceived dangers
of closeness
and i wear it well.
no one is better suited
to wear this suit of armor.
this wearable wall
of impenetrable defense.

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.
