Walter Soboleff Building (Sealaska Heritage)
Walter Soboleff Building
The cultural center of the Sealaska Heritage Institute, showcasing the art of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples, as well as clan houses.
Completed in 2015, the building's exterior is adorned with large-scale Northwest Coast-style relief carvings. Inside, you'll find a reconstructed cedar clan house, galleries of Indigenous art, and artists' workshops. In summer, traditional dance performances and weaving demonstrations are often held. Across the street, the newly built Indigenous art park features totem poles and an art market. Admission is about $15. It's a five-minute walk from the cruise terminal, and it's the best place to learn about the Indigenous cultures of southeastern Alaska.
