    Aleutian Voices Volume 2, No. 1, 2015 Forced to Leave Detail: Children of Unalaska. Photograph, circa 1932-33, courtesy Charles H. Hope, the Svarny Collection. As the nation’s principal conservation agency, the Department of the Interior has responsibility for most of our nationally-owned public lands and natural and cultural resources. This includes fostering the wisest use of our land and water resources, protecting our fish and wildlife, preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, and providing for enjoyment of life through outdoor recreation. The Cultural Resources Programs of the National Park Service have responsibilities that include stewardship of historic buildings, museum collections, archeological sites, cultural landscapes, oral and written histories, and ethnographic resources. Our mission is to identify, evaluate and preserve the cultural resources of the park areas and to bring an understanding of these resources to the public. Congress has mandated that we preserve these resources because they are important components of our national and personal identity. Published by the National Park Service, United States Department of the Interior, through the Government Printing Office with the assistance of Debra A. Mingeaud. During World War II the remote Aleutian Islands, home to the Unanga{ (Aleut) people for over 8,000 years, became one of the fiercely contested battlegrounds of the Pacific.This thousand-mile-long archipelago saw the first invasion of American soil since the War of 1812, a mass internment of American civilians, a 15-month air war, and one of the deadliest battles in the Pacific Theatre. In 1996 Congress designated the Aleutian World War II National Historic Area to interpret, educate, and inspire present and future generations about the history of the Unanga{ and the Aleutian Islands in the defense of the United States in World War II.
