Absolutely outstanding experience! Arnold was a great guide, and dancing with the Cape Fox dancers in the Beaver Clan House was so special. We have the little pins they gave us displayed on our pin-board at home! The opportunity to learn about cultural traditions and the history of the Tlingit-Haida people was extremely meaningful. Witnessing Nathan Jackson at work was a tremendous treat! And the Lumberjack show was definitely a hilarious, wild event, with all the cheering and booing and shenanigans!
