JUNEAU, Alaska (KTUU) - The Alaska Legislature has passed legislation that would protect an Alaska Native cemetery in Funter Bay.
Hundreds of people from the Pribilof Islands were forcibly removed from their homes by the U.S. military during World War II and taken over 1,000 miles to Southeast Alaska. Without supplies and basic medical care, dozens of people died from illness and starvation, most of them were elders and young children.
There are more than 30 gravesites in the Unangax̂ cemetery on Admiralty Island. ....

The cemetery holds the graves of 30 to 40 Unangax̂ people who died at Funter Bay during World War II. In 1942, the U.S. government forcibly removed them from the treeless Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea and took them to the Southeast rainforest about 1,300 miles away with only one bag apiece and no hunting or fishing gear. ....
