In 1942, the US Army and civilian contractors built road and laid pipe 600 miles across the great divide between the Mackenzie River and the Yukon. Their guide through this unmapped "wilderness" was Art John Sr.; and he guides us today along the road he led the way for on snowshoe and dog-team, 60 years ago.

However, a great deal of this documentation was done by white professionals, anthropologists, and researchers with very little contribution by Yukon aboriginals. JJ Van Bibber and his wife Clara were the exception to the rule. From the shoeboxes and closets of one of the Yukon’s most fascinating families, their photos and films emerge as a unique collection detailing the social, cultural and economic tapestry of a much simpler time. 16 min.
