The Power to Adapt

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.

Jude is a 6th grader. His video chronicles “a day in the life of COVID-19,” in which he interviews his sisters about their experiences with the quarantine. Jude has his own YouTube channel- “Jude Likes Food” in which he serves up stories, not just about food, but about whatever is on his mind — and of course, with a generous helping of humor.
