The word "chechahcos" is Inuit for tenderfoot or newcomer.
The only film ever made by the Alaska Moving Picture Corp.
The first feature film produced entirely in Alaska. True to an intertitle's claim, all of it was filmed there. Nothing was shot in Hollywood.
Shot entirely on location in Alaska over four months in Anchorage, Mt. McKinley National Park, and on two glaciers near Cordova, the project generated 160,000 feet of exposed film that was edited down to 10,000 feet. Released in the summer of 1923 to good reviews, high ratings, and wide circulation, it nevertheless lost money.
One of the 50 films in the 4-disk boxed DVD set called "Treasures from American Film Archives (2000)", compiled by the National Film Preservation Foundation from 18 American film archives. This film was preserved by Alaska Film Archives. This version has an uncredited piano music score and runs 87 minutes.
