Saxman Native Village
Ketchikan, USA
Saxman Native Village is a cultural site just outside Ketchikan, Alaska, known for its collection of totem poles, some of which are among the tallest in the world. Established in the 1930s as a gathering place for the local Tlingit community, it provides insights into the heritage and artistry of Indigenous Alaskans through its rich collection of crafts and traditional practices.
Take time to walk through the totem pole park and don’t miss the clan house that showcases native dances and storytelling, especially during the summer tourist season. The village is a short drive from downtown Ketchikan and offers a peaceful contrast to the bustling docks and shops nearby.
