Ann- My beloved grandmother was sent out of the territory. While she returned to Alaska as an adult and spent the rest of her life here, she never went home to her village. She could not forgive  or forget. She was mostly a hard-working, happy person but there was a terrible sadness underneath.
That being said, Mt Edgecumbe is a different story these days , especially since parents choose to send their young people rather than having them taken from their homes and sent away. It does make a difference.
