Standing Up for Humanity

The Culture and Covid 19 Project took place on Sugpiaq land, and Kodiak youth documented their pandemic journey. The workshop was a partnership between the Kodiak History Museum, Rafael Bitanga, and Marie Acemah, Director of See Stories. The project was funded by the Alaska Community Foundation Social Justice Fund and the Charlotte Martin Foundation.

Scout is an 8th grader, who created a documentary about the Black Lives Matter march in Kodiak. For her project, she interviewed one of the organizers, Nia Pristas, and one of the participants and speakers, Robenett Sagalkin. Her video also includes two community members who took part in the march — Marcus and Charmaine Dominguez.
