Alaska 2018 - 27 [a visit to The Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska]
We have some mixed feelings about visiting the Musk Ox Farm in Palmer, Alaska. (See more at our blog post: As vegans, we’re not really down with using animals.
But, at least the Musk Ox Farm isn’t raising these animals for meat. They harvest Qiviut, their soft underwool, which is highly prized for its warmth. The Qiviut is gently combed from the musk ox in the summer months when they shed it naturally anyway.
The whole idea behind the Musk Ox Farm is to domesticate the animals enough that far north Alaskan natives could keep them as a sustainable farming practice. There are very few opportunities for far north peoples and raising animals already suited to the environment makes sense for them.
So, we get that this visit might be controversial for some vegans. But we also understand that not all cultures have the same opportunities we do.
The tour was thorough and we learned so much about musk ox! They are not really oxen, but more closely related to goats and sheep.
The musk ox population in Alaska was completely wiped out in the late 19th or early 20th century. Thankfully they have been reintroduced into several wildlife refuges, preserves, and national parks.

Alaska '35
In 1935, scientist and filmmaker William O. Field documented the work of newly arriving Matanuska Valley Colony farmers in Alaska. These farmers and their families had relocated from the Midwest of the United States to the Matanuska Valley/Palmer area of Alaska as part of a New Deal resettlement plan. The colony was settled by about 200 families seeking relief from the hardships of the Great Depression. Field's film contains scenes of early Alaska Railroad steam engines at work, farmers and their families at work and play, colonists building and moving into houses, and farm machinery ranging from horse drawn wagons to Caterpillar tractors and threshing machines. (B&W/Silent/35mm film).
In 2016, this film was preserved through funding from the National Film Preservation Foundation (NFPF). Reflex Technologies of Burbank, California, scanned the film and created digital DPX files, which were then output to new 35mm dupe negative and answer print films by Video & Film Solutions of Rockville, Maryland. The original safety print film, new dupe negative and answer print films, and digital files are all being preserved by the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-21002 from the William O. Field Papers collection held by the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives Department in the Elmer E. Rasmuson Library, University of Alaska Fairbanks. The Alaska Film Archives is supported by Rasmuson Rare Books Endowment. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.

(Sound/Color/U-matic videotape).
Airing from 1976 to 1987, Alaska Review was the first statewide public affairs television program in Alaska. The show was designed to explore public policy issues confronting Alaska, and to assist citizens in making decisions about the future of their land. Produced by Independent Public Television, Inc., (IPTV), the series eventually consisted of 16 one-hour shows, 46 half-hour shows, and one three-hour special broadcast. Funded through the Alaska Humanities Forum and State of Alaska, the series won multiple awards for public service and educational programming. IPTV dissolved in 1988. Videotapes for all finished productions and raw footage were later moved to the University of Alaska Fairbanks (UAF), where they became housed with the Alaska Film Archives, a unit of the Alaska and Polar Regions Collections & Archives department in the Rasmuson Library at UAF, shortly after the unit was founded in 1993. The Alaska Film Archives is currently seeking funding to preserve and digitize all of the original full interviews gathered in the making of the Alaska Review series. Copies of finished productions are also held by Alaska State Library Historical Collections in Juneau. For more information, please contact the Alaska Film Archives at University of Alaska Fairbanks.
