“The National Park Service's mission is to promote, preserve and protect our country's natural and cultural resources for the enjoyment and education of this and future generations. Living Voices takes our Klondike story of adventure and resilience far beyond our building. Through an original script developed in partnership among writers and park rangers, Living Voices presents our shared history of the economic and social impacts of the Klondike Gold Rush in ways we simply cannot do alone.”
