I have visited the new town of Chenega Bay twice now and it is a very nice village located in a beautiful location in Prince Wiilaim Sound. It's a blessing to see the town and I have grown attached to its history and people. This video is enlightening and very educational.

More people need to see this. It is shameful that Alaska Native history isn't fully taught in schools today. To know where you want to go in life, you need to know who you are and where you came from. Vechnaya pamyat.
