- THE STORY THAT I'M GOING TO SHARE RIGHT NOW IS A STORY

THAT BELONGS TO OUR PLACE AS OPPOSED TO BELONGING TO ANY

TRADITIONALLY, WHEN WE HAVE A STORY OF THIS NATURE,

IT DOESN'T BEGIN WITH "ONCE UPON A TIME."

IT BEGINS WITH THE PHRASE "TANAM AWAA," AND "TANAM AWAA"

THE FIRST TIME THAT OUR PEOPLE HAD ANY INTERACTION WITH THIS

ISLAND CAME IN THE FORM OF AN ALEUT HUNTER, AND HIS NAME

IG,ADAGAX, WAS OUT IN HIS SINGLE HATCHED IQYAX, ON HIS OWN WHEN

HE WAS SWEPT AWAY IN A STORM AWAY FROM THE SHORELINES

HE TRAVELED A LONG PERIOD OF TIME ON HIS OWN, AND HE ENDED

HE CAME AND HE STAYED LONG ENOUGH TO SEE HOW LIFE EXISTED

HERE, LONG ENOUGH TO SEE THAT THERE WERE FUR SEALS HERE,

THAT THERE WERE SEA OTTERS HERE, THAT THERE WERE MANY SEA

SO HE PROBABLY STAYED A WHOLE YEAR, ONE WHOLE CYCLE.

IG,ADAGAX, TOLD THE STORY TO HIS BROTHER, TO HIS SON, TO HIS

RELATIVES, AND HE SAID THAT HE ALWAYS WANTED TO COME BACK.

IG,ADAGAX, WANTED TO COME BACK, AND HE DID, THROUGH US,

BY US BEING HERE, AND BEING THAT WE ARE A PEOPLE THAT LIVE

GENERATIONALLY, YOU CARRY ON WHAT HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN FROM

WE HAD TO COME, IF NOT ONLY TO FULFILL IG,ADAGAX,'S NEEDS,

WE HAVE HAD TO BE KEEPERS OF THE SEALS AND MAKE SURE THAT

THEY CONTINUE TO LIVE HERE BECAUSE IF THE FUR SEALS

NOW WE'RE AMERICAN CITIZENS, ALASKAN NATIVES.

- MANY OF US STILL BEAR OUR RUSSIAN HERITAGE IN OUR NAMES,

LIKE MERCULIEF, ZACHAROF, MELOVIDOV, BOURDUKOFSKY, AND MY

AND WE'RE ALEUTS, OR AS WE CALL OURSELVES IN OUR OWN

LANGUAGE, UNANGAN, NATIVES OF THE ALEUTIAN ISLANDS AND

OF A CULTURE THAT STRETCHES BACK AT LEAST 9,000 YEARS.

WHO WE ARE WEAVES TOGETHER AT LEAST 3 VERY

OURS IS A STORY OF SURVIVAL, OF ADAPTATION, AND A CONSTANT

WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THESE REMOTE ISLANDS IS BEING

NATIVE CULTURES AND NATIVE SPECIES ARE FIGHTING TO KEEP

WHEN I WAS LITTLE, GROWING UP, I JUST REMEMBER THAT ALL THE

ELDERS CALLED ME BY AQUILINA, AND FOR THEM IT WAS RESPECTING

DEBBIE MEANS BUMBLEBEE, SO MY ALEUT NAME IS AANASNAADAX,,

AND AANASNAADAX, TRANSLATES INTO ENGLISH AS BUMBLEBEE.

PRESENTLY WE HAVE ABOUT 450 PEOPLE RESIDING ON

PEOPLE COME AND THEY SAY, "OH, THAT'S IN THE MIDDLE

OF NOWHERE," BUT REALLY, IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF IT ALL.

SAINT PAUL ISLAND AND ITS SISTER ISLAND SAINT GEORGE ARE

THEY ARE 300 MILES WEST OF THE MAINLAND OF ALASKA, 250 MILES

NORTH OF THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN, AND WAY CLOSER TO RUSSIA THAN

WE'RE DRIVING ON MAIN STREET, WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED MAIN

STREET DOWNTOWN, AND IT'S NOT WHAT IT WAS WHEN I

WE HAVE A HISTORIC HOTEL THAT IS NOW BOARDED UP AND NO

LONGER USED, AND WE HAVE WHAT WAS AN OLD GOVERNMENT OFFICE

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT MANAGED THE COMMERCIAL FUR SEAL

FOR ALMOST 200 YEARS, WE UNANGAN PEOPLE HAVE HAD OUR

LIVES RULED BY ONE THING: THE COMMERCIAL HARVEST OF FUR

IT WAS AN INDUSTRY WORTH MILLIONS AND MILLIONS

OF DOLLARS, BUT IT ALL CAME TO A CRASHING HALT IN 1983.

THAT'S WHEN PRESSURE FROM ANIMAL RIGHTS GROUPS LED THE

UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT TO PUT AN END TO THE COMMERCIAL

WHAT WAS MEANT TO PROTECT THE FUR SEALS INSTEAD LED TO

SOMEONE ONCE SAID THAT THE PRIBILOF ISLANDS ARE
