Join this exclusive experience that includes a hands-on Native crafts session, a culinary tasting, and a guided tour of Saxman Native Village.
Learn about Tlingit form-line drawing as a local artist shows you how to design your own native ornament. Select from a raven or eagle template and paint them using authentic colors.
Treat your taste buds as you learn about Alaskan ingredients and their uses in a modern cooking environment. This food tasting enhances your culinary knowledge and expands your palate with authentic Alaskan elements. This three-course tasting meal starts with kelp salsa and tortilla chips followed by a demonstration of smoked salmon dip. Alaskan crab chowder and wild game links are served as the main course. Be sure to leave room for a s'more parfait for dessert. All these items pair deliciously with local wine and beer.
Discover a cultural showcase of Alaska Native art, clothing, and tools. These artifacts include traditional hand-carved pieces by Master Carver Nathan Jackson and other items from the original Village of Cape Fox.
Your local tour host will teach you Tlingit customs, traditions, and stories of the Elders as they guide you through the exhibits and totem park. The highlight will be watching the Cape Fox dancers perform a playlist of Tlingit songs and dances in the Beaver Clan House.
