Unalaska, AK – Last week, descendants of uninhabited Unangan villages got the chance to visit the places their families came from. A group of about a dozen people were able to visit Biorka and Kashega in as part of the Lost Villages Project, a program is sponsored by the National Park Service.

Kashega and Biorka - like many villages in the Aleutians Islands -- were evacuated during World War II. There were some attempts to resettle, but none lasted for more than a decade. For the descendants on the trips, this was their first time visiting these places. KUCB's Alexandra Gutierrez has more.
