My namesake and I came here on the ocean victory cruise ship August 2022. She always loved them and I now know why.

The center while small provide intimate and touching display and explanation for local Native tribal culture. Very well done. I see people crying inside moved by the display. I am glad I came.

Such a lovely piece of history to explore with a gorgeous landscape surrounding it. Tour guides are very knowledgeable! Kinda lame we couldn't go inside if we weren't a part of a cruise ship tour (we went on our own). The Village Store has amazing indigenous art and souvenirs with very nice staff.
The Totem Heritage Center preserves and perpetuates the living artistic traditions of the Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples that gave rise to the original totem poles on display and provides the opportunity to discover, learn and practice Native arts to inspire cultural understanding. Our knowledgeable staff and interpretive panels help visitors gain a historical context with which to approach contemporary totem poles and the cultural traditions present in our community.
