Angoon: One Hundred Years Later
One of the finest videos produced to date on Tlingit history, this tape reviews in a well-written narrative accompanied by historical photographs and contemporary footage, the historical events of 1882 that culminated in the U.S. naval bombardment of Angoon. The question of possible causes is raised: was it accidental or deliberate? Was it out of malice or a failure of cross-cultural communication? The video documents the situation one hundred years later in the words of Gov. Jay Hammond and the people of Angoon, descendants of those who suffered the bombardment, filmed during a ceremony of remembrance and healing on Oct. 26, 1982, marking the 100th anniversary of the event. Because the conflict was never diplomatically resolved, the tape poses the unanswered question of resolution. Produced and directed by Larry Goldin, VHS, 28 minutes. 1982 copyright by the Kootznoowoo Cultural & Educational Foundation. |
