Totem Heritage Center
Totem Heritage Center, Cultural museum in Ketchikan, United States.
The Totem Heritage Center displays numerous 19th century totem poles gathered from abandoned Tlingit and Haida settlements across Alaska's southeastern islands.
The institution opened in 1976 to safeguard 33 totem poles retrieved from Village Island, Tongass Island, and the former Haida settlement of Old Kasaan.
The center exhibits traditional artifacts from Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples, including carved masks, baskets, tools, and ceremonial items from these Native cultures.
Located at 601 Deermount Street, the museum operates daily from May through September, 8 AM to 5 PM, with reduced hours during winter months.
Five intricately carved entrance posts represent local Native groups through animal symbols: Eagle, Raven, Killer Whale, Bear, and Wolf.
