@aroyboy8732, I knew all of them, but for several good reasons: I'm a big time geography nerd, I've subscribed to Alaska magazine for almost 40 years, following my drive to AK back in '84, and I can't get enough info on our national parks.
Very informative video! Thanks for putting this together. I have watched a lot of videos on Alaska for my first upcoming visit this summer. That yours gives a better history of how they were signed into existence.
Love what you've done with this video. As a nerd for maps, showing the exact boundary along with topographic maps of these 8 glorious parks stood out for me the most. Thank you and continue the good work.
Excellent video, I saw a tiny piece of Denali National Park in 2016. It was spectacular, but way too short of a stay. I spent 2 weeks in Alaska and loved every minute of it.
435American, since it wasn't specified, the mystery Native American, or alternatively, Alaska Native group, or tribe, is Koyukon = COY-uh-con: a tribe in the same language family as the Navajo and Apache: Athabaskan. For the record, Sec'y. of the Interior Stewart Udall's name is pronounced YOU-dall. Wrangell-St. Elias is #3 in size in the world, behind Greenland's NE Greenland N.P. (1), and Algeria's Tassili N'Ajjer (#2). Richard Proenneke's last name is PREN-uh-key, rather than pro-NECK-ee, and the way I know this is because of the fame he garnered from his book and death.

Wow, I didn’t actually know 3/4th of these parks existed!
Alaska has 19 National Parks, Preserves & National Monuments

Not everyone can understand how much efforts and time does it take to make such informative videos.❤
Thanks, I appreciate it!

Appreciate it!
Great video! Just one suggestion. You can try adding some more pictures or videos of the parks so people can get a better idea of what they look like!
Unfortunately there aren't too many in the public domain, but I'll definetly try to add some more in the future. Thanks!
435American That’s always an issue. But totally understandable! Always prioritize not getting into any trouble.

Dang, you're on fire! I hadn't noticed you have done a bunch of videos. Binging right now.
Haha, thanks. Trying to make this summer count!

Plenty of National Monuments & Preserves in the state, so you never know. Here's hoping!

Tongass and Bering Land Bridge are worthy picks.
