IN SITKA A TEMPERATE RAINFOREST BLANKETS the land in spruce green stretching skyward to snow-capped heights. Water, the lifegiving element that shaped it all, still lingers in frozen glaciers and in powerful waterfalls cascading into teeming salmon streams. Eagles, brown bears, whales, sea lions, and all !ve species of Paci!c salmon call this pristine and majestic wilderness home.
On this island, we celebrate the natural world around us while also honoring the people who have carved out a unique and rich way of life here.
The Tlingit, an Alaska Native people who have lived here in harmony with the rugged landscape for 10,000 years, still shape the Sitka way of life—a unique blend of !rst peoples, Russian in"uence and American frontier.
