Yukon who is who

Harry Silverfox, Krutin

Harry Silverfox used to live with others at Big Salmon. They moved up to Whitehorse in the 1950s after the boats stopped running. There was no work on the river when the wood camps closed down, and all their freight came on the boats. The Big Salmon people used to stay at the woodcamps all summer and cut wood for the boats.¹⁾

In 1961, Jim Robb and Harry and Annie Silverfox started a new art form. Harry and Annie put Moosehide inside a real snowshoe frame and Robb painted a pastel and charcoal drawing on the hide. The first one they made was sold to Fred Berger who was running the Bonanza Hotel in Dawson.²⁾
