Title  Aleutian sparrow / Karen Hesse.
Author  Hesse, Karen.
Publisher  New York : Margaret K. McElderry Books, c2003.
Paging  156 p. : ill., maps ; 20 cm.
Summary  An Aleutian Islander recounts her suffering during World War II in American internment camps designed to "protect" the population from the invading Japanese. Annotation. "Your work, Vera," Alfred's grandfather told me, "your work is t o know the ways of our people." In June of 1942, seven months after attacking Pearl Harbor, the Japanese navy invaded Alaska's Aleutian Islands. For nine thousand years the Aleut people had lived and thrived on these treeless, windswept lands. Within days of the first attack, the entire native population living west of Unimak Island was gathered up and evacuated to relocation centers in the dense forests of Alaska's Southeast. With resilience, compassion, and humor the Aleuts responded to the sorrows of u pheaval and dislocation. This is Vera's story, but it is woven from the same fabric as the stories of displaced peoples throughout history. It chronicles the struggle to survive and to keep community and heritage intact despite harsh conditions in an alie n environment. In a luminous novel of unrhymed verse, Newbery winner Karen Hesse brings to light this little-known episode from America's past.
