My Grandfather and Grandmother both lived in Alaska in 1943 to 1952 where my grandfather worked on the Alaska Railroad. They came back to the lower 48 in 1952 before Alaska became our 49th state...they moved back to New York State to be closer to family and do to my grandmother getting home sick so they moved back. I love the Alaska state song it's diffrent from other states and it's very cool to listen to, I can help to sing along.

[ssunnell]

[silkmaskedkitten]

Your video has been embedded on classbrain's webpage about the Alaska state song in the state reports section. Thank you for uploading this beautiful rendition!

[gleohuyck]

This is called "Alaska Flag" not Alaskan Flag Song.

[gleohuyck]

This is sung by the Alaska Chamber Singers.

[LastApocalypse]

It's wonderful. I'm really looking forward to visiting Alaska this summer.

[pazzo2008]

Magnificent, truly magnificent!

[mramp83]

Benny Benson is buried here in Kodiak. The graveyard funny enough is behind the hospital. I get a kick out of that...like "just dump them out back!"

[338blaser]

I've been in Alaska several times. I've never met as nice people as them.

[mryoshi1221]

@338blaser

Thank you . c:>

*Is from Alaska*

[TBustah]

Why couldn't someone have written something like this for Nevada?

This is such an awesome hymn, by comparison, Nevada's hokey little song sounds like it was written by some old bat to entertain people at a picnic.

Oh wait.... it was.

[Furcifer07]

Connecticut's song is Yankee Doodle.

Be thankful for hokey songs. Lol.

[Audinos]

It all depends on how it is performed. Nevada's hymn could be played instrumentally by a band in a slow and dignified manner and sound very respectable, as could California's song. Oregon has a more solemn anthem like Alaska's, but it is rarely used because it isn't PC ("conquered and held by free men"). As for Idaho, they'll just need to write a new one.

[VictorLepanto]

Something just occured to me. In Alaska, the Pole Star must seem to be almost directly over head. So, it must not be all too easy to use it to find your way. You would need to be familiar w/ the other constellations & their positions at any given time to find your way.

[EngineerMK2004]

@VictorLepanto If necessary to use the stars to navigate, we use the end of Ursa Major. The stars line up with Polaris and point the way north.

[c3a1t20h8y25]

Eight stars of gold on a field of blue — Alaska's flag. May it mean to you The blue of the sea, the evening sky, The mountain lakes, and the flow'rs nearby; The gold of the early sourdough's dreams, The precious gold of the hills and streams; The brilliant stars in the northern sky, The "Bear," the "Dipper," and, shining high, The great North Star with its steady light, O'er land and sea a beacon bright. Alaska's flag — to Alaskans dear, The simple flag of a last frontier.

[LiveLaughLoveKMC]

i have no idea why i searched this.

[SvenTheTerrible]

Because Alaska is awesome? C'mon!

[stianbirkholz]

Alaska...."The land of the midnight sun"

[Lilbluefoxz]

[tarainalaska000]

lol. i live in anchorage. just to warn you it was -22 the other day. haha. its a beautiful place though, you will enjoy all of hte wonderful scenery and wild life around every corner

[Audinos]

Is is so nice to have a dignified state song like this one. It sums up the history and beauty of Alaska without being dated or corny like so many other state songs and anthems. My state's song, "Oregon, my Oregon," has a stately, anthem-like melody (if played slow enough), but it is rarely sung because it is not politically correct to sing "conquered and held by free men" anymore.

[Kerensky21]

Although we have a beautiful state anthem, the grim reality is that Alaska is a rural, god-forsaken penal colony. Nine months of winter, three months of spring.

Barely a dozen colleges in the entire state; thus, the majority of inhabitants are uneducated and ignorant hicks. The most intelligent Alaskans leave the state after high school and never return. Our newspapers call this "the brain drain."

Want to live in a bitter climate surrounded by ruffians and white supremacists? Come to Alaska!

[potatogrower]

Your song rings in my heart and soul.

[3lessyaya]

I love my state. My home and my haven.

[AK49Gunner]

HAIL ALASKA! >:)

[radikadawn]

The beauty, the pride of being an Alaskan shines forth within this gentle hymm.

[mrsjoeanmrsnickjonas]

I LIVE IN ALASKA!!

[N365PA]

Im really glad someone uploaded this to the net. Great Song, Long Live Alaska.
