About Sealaska Heritage Institute
Sealaska Heritage Institute is a private nonprofit founded in 1980, with a mission to advance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska. The goal is to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding through public services and events. The exhibit is $10 and you can get your moneys worth by taking your time to learn the history. Gorgeous art, fantastic information. The museum offers a lot to look at and learn thanks to a mix of interactive technology and artifacts. It presents many aspects of lives, past and present, of the three nations on the territory. The guide for the presentation in the clan house was really great and put everyone at ease. Beautiful place with historical and cultural artifacts all around in downtown Juneau. Clan House intimate room for performances. Really enjoyed learning about the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian both historically and today. Appreciate the work the Heritage Institute is doing in the region. The exhibitions were beautiful and informative. The staff were very informative, kind and excited to share their knowledge. The exhibition had interactive presentations - maps, videos and games. The 10 minute film gave great insights and context to the totems. The accompanying store has wonderful jewelry and items. All of the work is by Indigenous makers and the proceeds help provide more programs.

Denali was absolutely wonderful! He was passionate about teaching is a few words in Tlingit and telling us about his and others native cultures. We loved our time here and it was a highlight of our trip!
