There exists a stark disconnect between narratives about Indigenous people created by dominant institutions such as the United States government and narratives about Indigenous people created by Indigenous people themselves-in the case of displacement narratives, this disconnect is particularly stark. Drawing on Indigenous theory and narrative theory to compare narratives of the Unangax internment during World War II, I argue that the Indigenous counternarratives written about the Unangax internment experience speak back to the controlling displacement narrative, thereby forging space for Unangax to speak for themselves about their own displacement and engaging in a project of survivance. I used grounded theory to examine archival documents, and in doing so, investigated the disjunctures between how ranking government officials, other staff at the internment camps, and Unangax internees characterized place and displacement. This study resulted in the critical investigation of two themes dominant within the counternaratives and three themes within the controlling narrative. The main themes in the Unangax counternarratives included: (1) a reaffirmation of humanity in the face of the dehumanizing tactics employed by the U.S. government in their counternarrative, and (2) ensuring the survival of cultural values and practices integral to the Unangax people. These themes within the counternarratives challenged the dominant themes within the controlling narrative, which included: (1) the Unangax internment was orchestrated for the good of the Unangax people, (2) the conditions of their internment camp were not as harsh as the Unangax people claimed they were, and (3) any losses the Unangax might experience during their internment were attributable to wartime sacrifices. This analysis illuminated how the Unangax counternarratives systematically challenged the controlling displacement narrative and instituted their own narratives of survivance in its place; in doing so, this analysis attempts to rewrite and reright narratives of the Unangan internment during World War II, thereby participating within the tradition of survivance. This analysis can be used as a frame for additional critical examinations of dominant displacement narratives, and as such, has implications for further understanding the complex history of Unangax displacement and for understanding displacement more broadly for Indigenous and other disenfranchised groups.
