New Friends in Alaska !

by Kazu

The modern design of APIA(Aleutian Pribilof Islands Association)  building seemed to be so sophisticated and making the most of natural sunshine. The display of their traditional kayaks, attires, waterproof jackets made of seals' gut, photos of ancestors were so nice and inspiring that they shook my soul. 

A TV producer was filming the inside of the facility. She is Japanese American. We had a ice-breaking dinner on that  day. 

I think we shared really happy time with the Aleut people. Some talks can not go out of the room but anyway, the meeting was so beneficial, I think.
