Description
Totem Heritage Center Ketchikan Alaska by Barbara Snyder
The Totem Heritage Center preserves and perpetuates the living artistic traditions of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples that gave rise to the original totem poles on display and provides the opportunity to discover, learn and practice Native arts to inspire cultural understanding. Our knowledgeable staff and interpretive panels help visitors gain a historical context with which to approach contemporary totem poles and the cultural traditions present in our community.
The Totem Heritage Center has the largest collection of unrestored 19th century totem poles, but that's just the beginning of what it has to offer! Also displayed are baskets, masks, regalia, carvings, and my personal favorite, the incredible photographs of the old villages where the poles were retrieved. Not to mention the many carvings and totem poles outside the building! This is one of the Ketchikan Alaska Attractions not to be missed!
