Download or read book Last Letters from Attu written by Mary Breu and published by Graphic Arts Books. This book was released on 2009-11-05 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Etta Jones was not a World War II soldier or a war time spy. She was a school teacher whose life changed forever on that Sunday morning in June 1942 when the Japanese military invaded Attu Island and Etta became a prisoner of war. Etta and her sister moved to the Territory of Alaska in 1922. She planned to stay only one year as a vacation, but this 40 something year old nurse from back east met Foster Jones and fell in love. They married and for nearly twenty years they lived, worked and taught in remote Athabascan, Alutiiq, Yup’ik and Aleut villages where they were the only outsiders. Their last assignment was Attu. After the invasion, Etta became a prisoner of war and spent 39 months in Japanese POW sites located in Yokohama and Totsuka. She was the first female Caucasian taken prisoner by a foreign enemy on the North American Continent since the War of 1812, and she was the first American female released by the Japanese at the end of World War II. Using descriptive letters that she penned herself, her unpublished manuscript, historical documents and personal interviews with key people who were involved with events as they happened, her extraordinary story is told for the first time in this book.
Download or read book Before the Storm written by Fredericka Martin and published by University of Alaska Press. This book was released on 2019-02-18 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An account of the struggles and oppression of the Pribilof Aleuts of Alaska written by a woman who became their passionate advocate. From June of 1941 through the following summer, Fredericka Martin lived with her husband, Dr. Samuel Berenberg, on remote St. Paul Island in Alaska. During that time, Martin delved into the complex history of the Unangan people, and Before the Storm draws from her personal accounts of that year and her research to present a fascinating portrait of a time and a people facing radical change. A government-ordered evacuation of all Aleuts from the island in the face of World War II, which Martin recounts in her journal, proved but the first step in a long struggle by native peoples to gain independence, and, as editor Raymond L. Hudson explains, Martin came to play a significant role in the effort. “Particularly because so few books about the Pribilofs have focused on the people of the islands, Before the Storm offers an especially welcome perspective to our understanding of the unusual history of the Aleuts there.” —Alaska Journal of Anthropology

Anna is an Unangax̂ teenager looking for answers after her long-absent mother reappears in her life. When a mysterious bookmark brings them together on the Aleutian Islands, they’re sent on a dangerous quest to return a magical amulet to Anna’s Unangan ancestors. As they adventure across islands that glow like moonstones, they cross paths with nineteenth-century chiefs, the mysterious Woman of the Volcano, and the sinister Real Raven.

Download or read book Holy Women Holy Men written by Church Publishing, and published by Church Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2010 with total page 798 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fully revised and expanded, this new work is the first major revision of the liturgical calendar of the Episcopal Church in more than 40 years! It is the official revision of Lesser Feasts and Fasts and authorized by the 2009 General Convention. All commemorations in Lesser Feasts and Fasts have been retained, and many new ones added. Three scripture readings (instead of current two) are provided for all minor holy days. Additional new material includes a votive mass of the Blessed Virgin Mary, many more ecumenical commemorations, plus a proper for space exploration. For years the oft revised volume, Lesser Feasts and Fasts (LFF), has served parishes and individuals mark part of the holiness of each day by providing Scripture readings, a collect, a Eucharistic preface, and a narrative about those remembered on the church's calendar that day whose lives have witnessed to the grace of God. Holy Women, Holy Men (HWHM) is a major effort to revise, but also to expand and enrich LFF. Where LFF provided two readings (gospel and other New Testament) plus a psalm, HWHM adds an Old Testament citation. Where LFF was limited to few non-Anglicans in the post-reformation period (and few non-Episcopalians after 1789), HWHM dramatically broadens appreciation for other Christians and their traditions. Over-emphasis on clergy is redressed by additional laity, males by females, and "in-church" activities by contributions well beyond the workings of institutional agendas. These almost daily commemorations occupy over 600 of the book's 785 pages, by far the lion's share of its content. Remaining sections address: principles of revision and guides for future revision; liturgical propers for seasons (Advent/Christmas, Lent, and Easter); and new propers for a miscellany of propers usable with individuals (or events) not officially listed in the formal calendar. Two cycles of propers for daily Eucharist are also included, one covering a six week period, the other a two year cycle.

Download or read book Akuzilleput Igaqullghet written by Arctic Studies Center (National Museum of Natural History) and published by Washington, D.C. : Arctic Studies Center, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2002 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Alaskan community of Kingigin (population 165), also known as Wales, more than seventy-five indigenous terms for types of sea ice and ice conditions were recorded in 2007–2008 in the local Kingikmiut dialect of the Inupiaq language. In addition, over 30 terms were collected for various biological and cultural realities associated with the sea ice and ice hunting. Winton Weaypuk, Jr., a boat captain and a speaker of the Kingikmiut dialect, led the effort to collect local ice terms, documented elders’ knowledge about ice, and took over 100 photos of various ice-related activities in the Wales area, as illustrations to the dictionary. Collecting indigenous words for sea ice in Wales was a part of the SIKU (Sea Ice Knowledge and Use) international project. For the SIKU project, over 30 local ice vocabularies were collected in indigenous communities in Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Chukotka, Russia. The Wales Inupiaq Sea Ice Dictionary is the first to be published in full, with comments and illustrations. Special sections in the book written by project participants (Weyapuk, Krupnik, Anungazuk, Eicken, and Druckenmiller) tell how the Kingikmiut ice ‘dictionary’ was prepared; how indigenous sea ice nomenclatures can be analyzed, and what we learned from compiling indigenous terms for ice in Wales, Alaska and beyond. The book is also illustrated by historical black-and-white photographs taken in Wales in 1922 by biologist Alfred M. Bailey, now in the collection of the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Bailey’s photos with comments by today’s experts show how the environment and people’s life in Wales have changed over the past eighty years. Traditional words for ice, illustrations of local ice forms, Inupiaq explanations and English translations of ice types and conditions presented in the book will be of help to Wales students, educators, young hunters, so that the knowledge possessed by elders is preserved for future generations. Inupiaq knowledge about sea ice environment is also an insightful window to polar scientists, students, educators, and media specialists into indigenous people’s vision of Arctic climate change.
