THE LAST ALASKANS documents the lives of some of the most isolated people in America - the last of their kind - as they struggle to survive in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and its surrounding wildness, a protected area home to thousands of native animals and pristine terrain roughly the size of South Carolina.
