Mana is the Tagalog word for “inheritance” and the name of an exhibit launching at the Anchorage Museum on Saturday.
October is Filipino American History month, commemorating the arrival of the first Filipinos to modern-day California in 1587.
In Alaska, a new exhibit is launching at the Anchorage Museum Saturday that chronicles an oral history of Filipinos in the state. Mana is the Tagalog word for “inheritance” and the name of the project, founded by Shayne Nuesca, Tasha Elizarde and Joshua Albeza Branstetter. Nuesca says the three of them had independently chronicled Filipino history, and the project took off when they came together to collaborate.We wanted to tell the stories of elders, Filipinos in Alaska, whose stories would otherwise go untold in mainstream forums. And so these are stories that were passed down orally. It’s how our stories are really told, from generation to generation, within our culture.
Mana: The History We Inherit kicks off at the Anchorage museum on Saturday, Oct. 27, with remarks from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Admission is free. The exhibit will run at the museum through January.
