Review:
The Alaska Native Heritage Center is a museum and an educational and cultural institution that explores the culture and heritage of Alaska Natives and Alaskan Native life. Located in Anchorage, the center focuses on the legacy of Alaska's 11 major cultural groups with a variety of interactive displays in which visitors can get involved such as storytelling, dancing, wood carving and exploring replicas of winter dwellings. The dynamic museum also features life-sized traditional native residences like a Southeast Alaska Longhouse that once housed several families with no windows and just a smoke hole at the top, and a Supiaq, a semi-subterranean home built by the Alutiiqs. There are also exhibits of artifacts like birch bark baskets, tunics made from seal hide, and beautifully adorned moose hide boots.
