I’ve been working on a project about the Resettlement Administration and homestead projects across America during the 1930s, and one of the communities I’m studying is the Matanuska Colony in Alaska (which was a fascinating experiment and I encourage y’all to look into it). This morning I found a 1937 WPA film about the town and the closing sequence was, objectively, the cutest end to any motion picture ever. Thank you, Matanuska puppies.
