FUR RONDY


In the beginning Fur Rondy was a gathering to sell and trade furs and other goods. It was a time of celebration when the different tribes gathered in Anchorage. Furs are still auctioned and sold during the time. The furs shown here from left to right are ermine, blue fox and several wolves.
The gentlemen had many others including some cow hides from the lower 48. The following pictures show some of the crafts that natives from all over Alaska bring to Anchorage to show and sell during Fur Rondy.
