A raven and a hawk carved on a pole. Wolfhouse post. Bear cubs on pole. A man carves a totem pole very carefully. A plane takes off on the water (4:26-7:33).

No place like home. I love these old films of Alaska, it's really cool to see how it was back in the day.
Amazing state
Pretty cool. I’ve been to most of these places.
I like the old American....
anyone know what is this style of filming called or which camera /filter( like 14:01) because i couldn't find searching with year
I know a place near Mc Grath that has huge cut stones similar to stonehenge . Only giants could have constructed this .
I love this channel. However, is it necessary, to have the film counter on all the videos? Just wondering what the purpose is, as it covers up a lot, and takes away from the scene.
I guess that's because they license the films and to have the copy without the counter you have to pay for it.
Here's the issue: Tens of thousands of films similar to this one have been lost forever -- destroyed -- and many others are at risk. Our company preserves these precious bits of history one film at a time. How do we afford to do that? By selling them as stock footage to documentary filmmakers and broadcasters. If we did not have a counter, we could not afford to post films like these online, and no films would be preserved. It's that simple. So we ask you to bear with the watermark and timecodes.
In the past we tried many different systems including placing our timer at the bottom corner of our videos. What happened? Unscrupulous UA-cam users downloaded our vids, blew them up so the timer was not visible, and re-posted them as their own content! We had to use content control to have the videos removed and shut down these channels. It's hard enough work preserving these films and posting them, without having to spend precious time dealing with policing thievery -- and not what we devoted ourselves to do.

@@PeriscopeFilm Love the historic films and the efforts to save them. From the UK.
@@PeriscopeFilmYeah, but the time counter makes people _not_ watch it. So I guess....money matters more than viewers?
The world is wide open, it ain't no gold fish bowl.😉
No place like Alaska
BC and Yukon are identical.
