It's not just outsiders who can give out false info. I have relatives who moved there in the 50s (my uncle is now 90) and who will tell you stuff that's just not true. It depends on the person's interests and memory. My cousin age 66 grew up in FB and was a trucker at the age of 18 on the Haul Road and yet knows very little about Alaskan oil history because he's not that interested in it, he prefers to spend his time flying around in his bush plane. I've asked him questions where I knew he was just winging it with the answer. This is of course true of any place.
