Tlingit & Haida celebrates the relocation of Amos Wallace's Porcupine & Beaver totem pole from the Forest Service office in Juneau, AK to the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center. In the 1980s, he carved the Porcupine & Beaver pole for the Forest Service office. As part of Tlingit & Haida's co-stewardship agreement with the Forest Service, the pole will have a new home at the Mendenhall Glacier Visitors Center where the Tribe's Cultural Ambassadors have been working to indigenize the space and show

Our focus for the 12 cultures during the month of October is on the Tlingit culture. This cedar hat was made by Linda Starbard from Craig. Cedar bark is very important to the people of Southeast Alaska. Some weaving examples like cedar hats, baskets, and even sails for the canoes could be woven. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #culturalheritage #culturalexchange | Alaska Native Heritage Center
