A Year of Change and Challenge

The year 1941 was a tumultuous one for the world, and the Pribilof Islands were no exception. These remote islands in the Bering Sea were home to a small community of Aleuts, who had lived there for centuries. But in 1941, everything changed.

The United States entered World War II, and the Pribilof Islands were suddenly on the front lines. The Japanese were advancing through the Pacific, and the islands were seen as a potential target. In response, the U.S. government evacuated the Aleuts to the mainland and established a military base on the islands.

For the Aleuts, this was a time of great upheaval. They were forced to leave their homes and their way of life. But they also showed great resilience and courage. They worked alongside the U.S. military to defend the islands, and they made invaluable contributions to the war effort.
