Oral Histories

Lake Clark Project Jukebox - Listen to storytelling by Native community members and watch slideshows of historic photographs. Part of a University of Alaska Fairbanks program, this project consists of photo albums and recorded interviews that represent different, but overlapping, historic themes. These include stories about:

  • early education
  • reindeer herding
  • the establishment of this national park, as well as trails and transportation
  • Dena'ina technology.
