And Knowledge to Keep Us
About And Knowledge to Keep Us
Every year Sugpiat kids gather for Akhiok Kids Camp to connect with and celebrate knowledge their Ancestors grew for over 7500 years. But a barrier lies between the kids and their Ancestors: 200 years of colonial suppression that reduced their words to whispers.
Mark Blaine and Sven Haakanson directed And Knowledge to Keep Us, a 2024 documentary film. Alfred Naumoff takes the lead as Himself, and Sven Haakanson as Himself.
It runs 57 minutes and was released in November 2024.
In the United States it streams on PBS.
