In this episode of "Island Interviews," Wolfang Matilda Tutiakoff shared with KUCB's Kanesia McGlashan-Price what researchers discovered underwater near Attu Island and their personal journey during the expedition. They also highlighted the cultural and emotional significance of reclaiming the island.

Gregory Golodoff was sitting in a sod house when the soldiers arrived. “We had heard machine gunfire from this side, this side, you know. I forgot who it was told us they’re coming from this side, they’re coming from that,” Golodoff said in a 2018 interview — 75 years after the Battle of Attu. The Japanese Imperial Army invaded the Unangax̂ village in 1942, where the three-year-old Golodoff lived with his family.

The last surviving person from Attu, Gregory Golodoff, passed away earlier this month at the age of 84. Golodoff was a young child in 1942 when the Japanese Imperial Army invaded his village in the western Aleutians. The Battle of Attu was the last major action of the Aleutian Islands campaign of World War II.
