Hello,
I will be adding information explaining the issues that involve my ancestors, my current family, and my own personal ideas about being a descendant of the Attuans of Alaska. There are current issues that wrong us and my ancestors on the island of Attu. The project will be ongoing and I encourage any input from others. There will be a document that I will include on a post soon that explains into depth about the Japanese Government and the United States Government and how both governments ignored the Attuans - illegally putting memorials on my people's land.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteMy father is Alfred Prokopeuff Jr. My minimal knowledge of Attu and the Japanese internment indicates that Alfred Prokopeuff Sr. (my grandfather) was close with your great grand father. I am searching for primary accounts of the Attuan experiences at Otaru, Japanese internment prison. I am working on an original thesis for my History degree at Carleton (MN) and the Japanese crimes against the Aleutians is a foundational part of my argument. I would VERY much like to be in touch with you about the story of your family and mine. My e-mail is browng@carleton.edu. I hope to hear from you!
