A s a teacher of American history, I know that this film will be welcomed and useful in the college classroom. More and more Pacific Islander students are attending university and this film will help them place their own local histories in a national and global context. For non-Pacific Islander students, it will raise crucial questions about American identity, historical experience, democracy, and historical interpretation." - Gordon Chang Associate Professor Stanford University
