Six Alaska-themed works make up this group, with three framed pieces and three loose prints. Alaska artist Neil A. Reticker's (1944-1995) signed print, numbered 14/600, depicts a smiling Alaska Native hunter wearing a fur-trimmed parka and sunglasses in an open umiak, surrounded by blue water and ice. The wide skin boat, paddle, and hunting equipment give the portrait its setting. Rick Kelley's "Gateway to Freedom", signed and numbered 1829/2500, commemorates the 1988 gray-whale rescue near Barrow, Alaska. Its printed account describes the work of local residents and international rescuers, including the use of de-icing equipment. Additional signatures appear in the margin. This loose print has conspicuous margin staining and soiling, creases, and tape on the reverse. Alaska artist Anna Huong's (b. 1950) signed "Arctic Children" shows brightly dressed children riding and pulling a sled amid falling snow. It is presented in a dark frame with blue matting. A smaller framed black-and-white work signed C. Tuckfield Jr. depicts a traditional high kick, with a parka-clad figure lifting one boot toward a suspended target. The bold silhouette and geometric clothing trim concentrate attention on the athletic movement. The third framed work shows a bearded prospector panning beside a stream and is signed Sisson, 1980. Alaska artist Tok Hwang's signed print, numbered 289/999, combines a close portrait of a child in a white fur hood holding a young dog with a dog team and musher traveling through a snowy mountain landscape. The largest frame measures approximately 23.25" x 34.5" overall.
