This morning we arrived at Wrangell, a small Alaskan town with a lot of history. The Tlingit people have called this area home for centuries and provided guests with wonderful opportunities to learn about their culture. We visited Chief Shakes’ house, which is a replica of the traditional Tlingit clan house. Inside we met a cultural interpreter who described the intricate carvings inside the clan house and told us of Tlingit traditions.
In addition to this cultural experience, guests had the opportunity to explore a petroglyph beach and search for thousand-year-old rock carvings. For those interested in photography there was a photo walk around town and to the Cultural Center and Carving Shed, where we witnessed a master carver working on a totem pole. If that was not enough, we had guests on e-bikes and a jet boat tour up the Stikine River. It was a full day packed with cultural and adventurous opportunities.
