Chie Sakakibara grew up in Japan but became fascinated with North American Indians after seeing them in the movie “Dances with Wolves.” Her interest brought her to Alaska, as a student of cultural geography, where she continues to find connections between Inuit culture and her own. Produced by Studio 360’s Jenny Lawton.
