Ray Mala was born in Alaska on the Nome burough(county) of the Seward Peninsula in the small village of Candle, Alaska during a unique period in Alaskan history.

Not only does Mala act in front of the camera but he serves as a cameraman as well for the picture. From here young Mala accompanied Knud Rasmussen, the Danish Arctic explorer and writer on his trip called "The Great Sled Journey" from 1921 to 1924 to collect and describe Inuit songs and legends as the official cameraman.
