Hoonah Sightseeing

DETAILS

  • 11/2
    hrs Estimate Duration

Hoonah is a lively fishing community, an old logging town and the world’s largest Tlingit village. Your guide will describe how this coastal community came in existence when the rapid glacial advance of the Little Ice Age forced the clans from their ancestral home in Glacier Bay. You will learn the feats of local fisherman, what it’s like to drive on the Alaska Marine Highway, and how the people rebuilt when the village was destroyed by fire during WWII. Upon your return to Icy Strait Point you will gather at the Heritage Center Native Theater for the Tribal Dance and Cultural Legends performance where you will be thoroughly entertained and educated through song, dance, and storytelling. You will be invited to dance with our Tlingit family on stage and will also have an opportunity to have your photo taken with one of the performers.
