About Alaska Native Heritage Center

This cultural center on 26 wooded acres represents all 11 major Alaska Native cultural groups. You can walk a path around Lake Tiulana past six life-sized traditional dwellings, then head indoors to the Hall of Cultures exhibits and the theater. In summer the Gathering Place hosts dance performances, Alaska Native Games demonstrations and guided tours. The Ch'k'iqadi Gallery sells art and crafts made by Alaska Native artists.
