Pinguat

Thirteen talented artists, a 148-year-old beaded headdress, and tons of cultural pride. Those are the ingredients of Pinguat—a short documentary film by Josh Branstetter and the Alutiiq Museum. Follow Alutiiq women as they recreate a headdress from 1872 and explore their culture.

Pinguat is a documentary film directed by Joshua Albeza Branstetter in collaboration with the Alutiiq Museum, and with support from the Sun’aq Tribe of Kodiak, US Bureau of Indian Affairs, Musée Boulogne-sur-Mer, France, and Koniag, Inc.
