Stampeders and their outfits in Dyea, Alaska. So many hopeful men (and a few women) were making the difficult journey into the Canadian and Alaskan wilderness in search of gold, the Canadian government started requiring every stampeder bring a year's supply of goods before crossing the border, leading to hundreds of scenes like this. #

After the quake. The tremendous earthquake that rocked Anchorage and much of south central Alaska on March 27, 1964, dropped Fourth Avenue and a row of cars some 20 feet below normal level. This street, like others, was left cracked and torn like peanut brittle. The Good Friday earthquake lasted four and half minutes and was a magnitude 9.2, destroying neighborhoods and villages, spawning tsunamis, and left 139 dead. #

An unidentified Inuit poses on October 29, 1970, Alaska. Alaskan natives were looking ahead to what they hoped would be a better deal as a result of their claims on territory and the oil which may be drawn from it. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act was signed into law by President Richard Nixon on December 18, 1971, giving control of 44 million acres to Alaska Native regional and village corporations. #

Yupik children play during summer vacation on June 30, 2015 in Newtok, Alaska. Newtok, which has a population of approximately of 375 ethnically Yupik people, was established along the shores of the Ninglick River, near where the river empties into the Bering Sea, by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) in 1959. The Yupik people have lived on the coastal lands along the Bering Sea for thousands of years. However, as global temperatures rise the village is being threatened by the melting of permafrost; greater ice and snow melt - which is causing the Ninglick river to widen and erode the river bank; and larger storms that come in from the Bering Sea, which further erodes the land. According to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, the high point in Newtok - the school - could be underwater by 2017. A new village, approximately nine miles away titled Mertarvik, has been established, though so far families have been slow to relocate to the new village. #
