Alaska bill would protect graves of relocated Native people by The Associated Press Last Updated Feb 3, 2021 at 9:58 am EDT JUNEAU, Alaska — An Alaska legislative bill would protect the graves of Native Alaskans forcibly displaced from the Aleutian Islands by adding land to a state park. KTOO-FM reported Tuesday that the bill would increase the land within Funter Bay State Marine Park near Juneau to include a cemetery holding the graves of 30 to 40 Aleut people who died there during World War II. The measure would prevent the land from being sold or developed. The U.S. government forcibly moved Indigenous residents of the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea about 1,300 miles (2,092 kilometres) to the Southeast Alaska area in 1942.
