Eva Tcheripanoff Interview
As part of the "Beginning of Memory Project," Ray Hudson conducted interviews with Unangax̂/Aleuts who were forced to evacuate from their homes during World War II. Many of the evacuees from the Aleutians faced years away from their childhood homes, sometimes in deplorable camps. Many communities - the "Lost Villages" - were never resettled.
Eva Tcheripanoff (nee Kudrin) was born in Kashega in 1928 and continued to live there until evacuation during WWII. After the war she married John Tcheripanoff of Akutan and soon afterwards settled in Unalaska.
