Review:
Saxman Native Village is one of the must-visit totem pole parks in Ketchikan as it has the largest collection of standing totem poles in the world. There are 25 totem poles to see, all of which are authentic replicas of original poles found in villages abandoned by Native Alaskans. You can tour the open-air park on your own or join a guided tour to learn more about each pole’s history. In addition to the totem poles, the village is also home to an on-site clan house and a carving shed where you may be able to see native carvers work on projects using traditional techniques and tools. Another fun thing to do while there is witness the native dancing exhibition, which is performed at specific times throughout the day.
2706 South Tongass Hwy, Ketchikan, AK 99901
