Southeast Alaska traditional art still lives and thrives here in Ketchikan. As well as totem poles all over town. The Totem Heritage Center maintains the oldest poles under controlled air and humidity. Ketchikan has a number of master carvers, reproducing old poles and working traditional form-line design into some unique and beautiful modern designs. I am an amateur carver myself I can show you some of my self-forged tools. I know many of the best modern carvers and am very familiar with their work. Some I can even recognize from the distinctive adzing, the cut-marks left by their tools. The poles are covered in symbols and faces, and animals, which come to life when you know the stories behind them. I have been a story-teller all my life, and I will delight in telling you some of these stories. I would like for you, just for a moment, to feel the Spirit in the Wood! ***Norwegian Cruise Line Passengers Please see note in Itinerary below***

I conduct small tours in my personal minibus - a 2015 Toyota Sienna. There is one driver seat and six passenger seats: 1 up front, 2 bucket seats second row, and 3 row seats in the third row (the middle one is for a skinny person). I can fold away a back seat or two if we need to carry a wheelchair or scooter (I am happy to do so).
