“It can and has emboldened others to tell their story and shine a light on history that lives in the shadows of denial and pretends that the past is the past. It can help those who suffered harm to recognize it for what it is and to begin to heal.”
Yvonne Krumrey, KTOOLillian Petershoare speaks on panel about the closure of Memorial Presbyterian Church at Sealaska Heritage Institute in Juneau on Nov. 14, 2022.
.” When the organization closed the church in 1963, it also gave the separate, white-led Northern Light church a loan of $200,000 for a new building. “Various members of the church now in Juneau have expressed to me what’s been going on with this effort,” DeAsis said. “And sitting here, right now, this is pretty emotional for me.”
“One of the things I remember about Walter, when he spoke to me years ago — but it was the last time since I’ve been away so long — is he said, ‘Roy, you remind me of a tree.’ And I’m so sorry that I didn’t ask him what he meant,” DeAsis said.During the panel discussion, members of Ḵunéix̱ Hídi Northern Light United Church committee — which was formed to research this closure and ask for an apology — told the story of Memorial’s closure and what they’ve done to repair that harm today.
