Icy Strait Point Hoonah Sightseeing and Tribal Dance

Hoonah Sightseeing & Tribal Dance Combo
Hoonah is many things in a small package: A lively fishing community, an old logging town and the world's largest Tlingit village. Your local guide will describe how this coastal community came to be when the rapid glacial advance of the Little Ice Age forced the clans from their ancestral home in Glacier Bay. Learn about the feats of local fishermen, what it's like to drive on the Alaska Marine Highway, and how the people rebuilt when the village was destroyed by fire during WWII. Upon returning to Icy Strait Point, you will gather at the Heritage Center Native Theater for the Tribal Dance and Cultural Legends performance. Wearing their traditional regalia, Huna Tlingit performers share their history and culture through song, dance and storytelling. The show culminates in a lively traditional celebration... and you're invited to participate! Please refrain from photography and videotaping during the Tribal Dance. The performers will remain in their regalia for photos immediately afterwards.
Duration: Approximately 2.5 hours
