Review:
Potlatch Totem Park is an extensive educational center where visitors of all ages can familiarize themselves with Tlingit culture and history. The privately owned park is built on an old fishing ground and preserves and celebrates this ancient Native Alaskan craft. Visitors will go through five different clan houses, each of which showcases dioramas filled with information on the area’s tribes, hand-carved and colored to portray the way families lived in the communal setting. The park also has the Carving Center, where you can watch resident carvers practice this ancient art, learn about their unique tools and techniques, and even give it a try yourself.
