Totem Bight State Historical Park Location: North of Ketchikan, at milepost 10 on North Tongass Road. Facilities: Historical features, trails, toilets, drinking water (é). Special Features: In the 1930s the US Forest Service hired skilled carvers among Native Americans to salvage and reconstruct the native totem poles that had been left to rot when Natives moved to non-Native settlements to find work. The fragments of old poles were laid beside freshly-cut cedar logs, and every attempt was made to copy them traditionally. By the end of World War II, 14 totem poles and a clanhouse, or community house, were in place and are now preserved at the Totem Bight site. Address: c/o Southeast Area Office 400 Willoughby Ave, 4th Fl Juneau, AK 99801 Phone: 907-465-4563; Web: www.dnr.state.ak.us/parks/units/totembgh.htm Size: 33 acres. See other parks in Alaska.

Some of these activities include exploring the historic downtown area; visiting Saxman Totem Park, Totem Bight State Historical Park, or the Totem Heritage Center and Tribal Fish Hatchery to look at totem poles; going hiking in the Tongass National Forest; going kayaking; taking one of the many boat or air tours offered in the area; visiting historical exhibits; or chartering a fishing boat to test your skills against the teeming population of halibut and salmon. While these tours usually are inexpensive, you may be able to see the totem poles for even cheaper if you take the city bus on your own to Totem Bight State Historical Park - $1 each way. |
