Wild animal outposts

Filmed during the Finley-Church Expedition to the Northland, 1926. This film was taken during the 1926 Finley-Church Expedition to the Northland, on the Kenai Peninsula and the Bering Sea. Deer are seen swimming across the river, and canoes are shown navigating the same waters. Footage of rabbits, porcupine, rock ptarmigan, and blue fox is seen. Most of the film, however, is devoted to two bear cubs, who are featured in other Nature Magazine films. This sequence of the film takes place on Umiak Island, where Cuffy and Duffy (the black bear cubs) are seen playing in and out of a stream. They romp around Irene Finley as she types at the water's edge. The bear cubs were brought on the expedition by Campbell Church.
