No mention of St. Damien and all Christians did to help the people of Moloka’i survive and live? To be cared for and not forgotten, when no one else would? People love to rag on Christian missionaries from any denomination, but regardless of the good and bad done around the world, Hawaii as a whole is one example of the natives accepting Christianity peacefully and by free will and the effects of Christian believers to help advance and develop the Kingdom of Hawaii
Your explanation of the political situation isn’t accurate. It sounds like it was based more on Western media than the differing perspectives that exist within Yemen.
Conspicuous gluttony is the history and current living of being human. Slaughter until extinction. This is grotesque! We are the monsters, everything else exist in neutrality naturally!
My mom was raised here in the 70's and tells me stories all the time. Adaks "forest" is so small that the sign leading into it says "you are now entering and leaving Adaks National forest" :)
I think we let governments off too easy.... It's especially government policy deliberate or gross negligence that displaced and arguably destroyed an entire unique society of people. I'm not sure what the right word is but their inaction destroyed the outport and outport people.
Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. Yemen is not mine.
I lived on Adak between '81 and '83 5th and 6th grade student. We lived on Salmon Circle in Robert's housing, which I believe is now leveled. Some things I remember: Playing at the dump. Staying out on the playground until 11 PM because there was still light. Sunshine liberty, when school closed so we could enjoy a 60-degree day in our shorts and t-shirts! Blizzards that shut down the roads for a couple of days. My sister being blown away exiting the Bering building after swimming lessons in the most chorine-laden pool I've ever been in. Baskin-Robins in the Bearing building. Playing hide and seek in foxholes left over from WWII...really hard to be found with the wind-swept tundra blowing over you. Herring fishing in Clam Lagoon - we always went late at night and my friend Barbara R. and I ate Tutti-Frutti drink mix in her dad's camper/pickup truck. Thousands of Sand Dollars. 4th of July fireworks over the Bering Sea wearing warm coats. Bald Eagles. Bald Eagles harassing pets, probably eating some. The time my dad and his fishing buddies were followed by a pod of killer whales (Mr. Swisher?) in their refurbished 16-foot (tiny) fishing boat. My mom learning to clean halibut he brought home. The best beer-batter fried halibut you can imaging. Finding the leavings of sailors in abandoned Quonset huts. Finger Bay. Traffic Circle. Salmon. Dolly Varden. Getting up at 3 AM to ride bikes to Traffic Circle with my sister to go fishing because the fishing is better at that hour (not sure who told us that...maybe it was a tide thing). A new school - Ann C. Steven's elementary was opened when I was there. Ike Isenhour, who ran the seismology station at the time, instilling a fascination with earthquakes to this day. Ms. M. Wilkins, my fifth grade and best teacher ever. Ms. Chainey, who was also a great teacher. Mr. G. Sawyer, who introduced us all to the synthesizer in band...because they were a big deal back then. Riding the bus home with rowdy marines. Bowling with mom and dad....the place was full of cigarette smoke and I kept score on paper score sheets. Sledding with all the kids in the neighborhood. Crab. Walking on catwalks alongside/underneath some very large piers and seeing the rainbow-colored Japanese Perch in the clear waters. The elephant cage where my dad worked. Looking at Mt. Sitka across the bay. Garbage flights. "AFARTS" radio. Watching the "droopy-wing" airplanes on the runway. Orientation and learning about hypothermia. Frequent earthquakes. Riding in the back of pickup trucks with the wind in our hair. The road rally/scavenger hunt. It was a great place to be a kid.
Very educational on history, but no mention of the Roman Catholic hero priest, Father Damien De Veuster --now Saint Damien due to his dedication for the sick and building much of the infrastructure not only on Kalaupapa but on the entire island of Molokai -- St. Philomena Church; St. Joseph Church; Our Lady of Sorrows Church; Saint Sophia church.
it's confusing cuz of the pronunciation of "aleutian" - but those (like me) who grew up in alaska know that they pronounce their tribal name "aleut" with 3 syllables - AL ee oot"

Socotra Island and Abdul Kuri Island are part of Greater Somalia originally in the Indian Ocean within the borders of Somalia on the continent of Africa. This will never come true for them. This is the dream of the Arabs, Yemen and the Emirates together.
A couple of billion to repair and rehab Adak Naval Station is a drop in the bucket, compared to what we are absolutely WASTING around the world in other countries with ZERO return on investment. A way forward here is to allow real capitalization to proceed, without excessive government intervention and or restriction. This is how The West was won, and it can work on Adak too. Independence, self-sustainability, profit. The Arctic is opening up, and it's going to be huge! Another 26 Billion given to Israel to assist in genocidal actions against it's own people, another 61 Billion to Ukraine, to support a war, everyone knows will be won by Russia; another 17 Billion to Taiwan for military preparations to hang onto land which for 1000s of years was part of China. All these LOSER WASTES OF MONEY, but investment in American lands, American peoples, this goes unanswered and silent. The level of stupidity and shortsightedness of the American government today is staggering, wasteful, and sad. Good luck to those lone folks on Adak, they are what Americans used to be, and can be again.
I used to live there. My dad was in the navy and I lived there between 1989 and 1992. LOL, I lived there as a kid when the fire chief in this video was there. I saw that McDonalds get built. It was a big deal.
no, every mayor office in France have the the photo of The French President on the wall, and this guy representing the French Republic there, he have to dispose a photo of the French President in his office.
