Naknek Digital Storytelling Workshop

In September and October of 2018, students from Naknek documented cannery stories via film as part of the NN Cannery History Project. This film documents their experience throughout the film workshop. Funding for the workshop was generously provided by the Bristol Bay Economic Development Corporation, the National Park Service Underrepresented Community Grant, the Alaska State Historic Preservation Office, & the Alaska Association for Historic Preservation.
