Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Housed in a grassy islet right in the middle of Wrangell’s boat harbor is Chief Shakes Island. The Shakes, whose current leader is Chief Shakes X, represent a long line of Tlingit leaders, whom you can learn all about as you explore the historic space. The major attraction is the Shakes Community House, which is a replica of a traditional Tlingit tribal house that was built in 1940 by the Civilian Conservation Corps. While there, you’ll be able to see original totems that date back to the 1840s holding the building up; there are six additional totems that were carved in the late 1930s and are duplicates of originals.
