Quote:
"When this film [Picturing a People: George Johnston, Tlingit Photographer] came out, I found that people were coming up to me and telling me that this film helped them, and this was so important to me because it helped especially the younger people understand their history. It helped them understand what happened. It helped them understand why so many of our people were on their knees, and why it is that we're still having so much trouble in the Yukon."
