Lonely Planet review

The Alaska Native Heritage Center is spread over 26 acres, and has a theater and exhibition space devoted to the history, lifestyle and arts of Native Alaskans. In open studios, artists carve baleen or sew skin-boats, and surrounding a small lake in the center are five replica village settings - Athabascan, Yupik, Inupiat, Aleut and Tlingit/Haida. Please excuse the dust.

The centre's main museum houses exhibits on traditional arts and sciences - including kayaks and rain gear that rival whatever hikers are using at Denali National Park. It also features various dance and singing performances. Outside, examples of typical structures from the Aleut, Yupik, Tlingit and other tribes are arranged around a picturesque lake.
