"Tubughna, The Beach People is a 57-minute, 1/2-inch color video cassette documentary about life in the Athabascan village of Tyonek, Alaska from 1964 to 1984. The video shows the changes that took place during those two decades. While old ways are described, village life in the 1960's is shown - hunting, fishing, trapping, cutting wood, sewing skins, cooking, washing clothes and socializing. There is a glimpse of the impact of oil exploration upon the village and the changes brought by the construction of new homes, modern utilities and improved transportation. Concern centers on the future development plans around the village and the continuing problems of contemporary society. Directed by Frank Brink, produced by the Native Village of Tyonek and promoted by The CIRI Foundation. 1998. Emil McCord, Sr., Film Project Coordinator, devoted many years to ensuring completion of the film."
