About Totem Heritage Center
Operated by the City of Ketchikan as part of Ketchikan Museums, this center focuses on the carving and art traditions of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples. Its collection includes original totem poles from the 19th century. The building was completed in 1976 and is modeled on a traditional clan house. Visitors can also take part in Native arts learning, and guided tours and school field trips are available.
