Do you have personal memories of those times?

And they were before her time for the most part.

in some way I can't even explain. Thanks for posting these.

It's the same young lady holding the baby in front of the shack!

You have a treasure here.

Thank you for sharing them with us...

you are welcome. just showing how real natives lived/live. it's not just dreamcatchers and beads.

But I know this thread is already too big...

I love looking back into the history of real people. The photos are talking to us from the past in a way. Whether you are related or not, it's the history of us all.

And no. The thread is not too long.

Is that your mother with the pic labelled "Pops"? Well, regardless, she's lovely.

Nice thread.

It's my wife's family! That is a picture of her Dad, but the lady is an old friend!

No biggie on the name. Late night typos are always forgiven.



Best regards.

I fixed it...with apologies!

either in Nome or a state Historical Society, with as much identified as possible.
They'll love to have them.

They have a haunting beauty to them

I have also started a family photo scanning project but most of the photos I have are no where near as historically interesting as these. Thanks for posting these. I love the look into a slice of REAL Inuit culture here.

Have you tried getting in touch with any of the elders from Nome and Wales? They might be able to help with some of those.

If you have more please post them.

The baby pictures are adorable.

Thank you so much for sharing and I too, loved the baby and little kid pictures.

you have some beautiful and historic photos from your wife's family. I think you should digitize them all and send them to whatever historical society there is in Alaska. Also send them to whatever Inuit association or historical society there might be.

Thanks so much for the positive feedback! And yes I will digitize them all and send to The state (and local) Historical Societies!

thank you for sharing them with us. they are treasures, steerpike.

I loved seeing them. These pictures are Alaska, not SP. I only list her initials. Just beautiful. Again, thank you and thank your wife also.

My wife and her Mom (Audrey)

I have so much respect for the Alaska Native cultures. I have only been in Alaska since 1975. I feel like a cheechako.

I think I have more of these to post...
