Alaska Film Archives - UAF | Up in the Air Over the Wolves (1980) @alaskafilmarchives | Uploaded August 2021 | Updated October 2024, 18 hours ago.
Excerpt from Alaska Review 39. In this segment, Alaska Review examines folklore surrounding wolves, and the history of interaction between humans and wolves. Conservationists, activists, and biologists debate the appropriateness and effectiveness of aerial wolf hunting as a wildlife management tool in Alaska. A bulletin issued by the Alaska Department of Fish and Game regarding the failure of the 1980 aerial wolf hunt due to poor snow conditions is mentioned at the end of the program. Those interviewed include: Will Anderson of Greenpeace Alaska; Bob Hinman of the Alaska Department of Fish and Game; Ed Andrews, executive director of the Wolf Country Foundation in Boulder, Colorado; Carol Gates, speaker at a 1979 Alaska Department of Fish and Game public hearing; Sam McDowell of the Izaak Walton League; Dr. Gordon Haber, wildlife ecologist; Floyd Tepton, speaker at a 1979 Alaska Department of Fish and Game public hearing; Bruce Snodgrass, speaker at a 1979 Alaska Department of Fish and Game public hearing; Bud Burris, management coordinator for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game in Fairbanks; Jim Davis of Fairbanks, caribou research biologist; Bill Gasaway of Fairbanks, moose research biologist; Bob Stephenson of Fairbanks, wolf research biologist; Jack Jonas of Jonas Bros. Taxidermy in Denver, Colorado; Jim Pitts of Anchorage, realtor and activist; and Jack Grieb, director of the Colorado Division of Wildlife. Program contains scenes of wolves and moose, Greenpeace headquarters, and a Colorado taxidermy shop (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.
This sequence contains excerpts from AAF-4984 from the Alaska Review 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. For more information please contact the Alaska Film Archives.
