Sheet'ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi
The clan house of the Sitka Tlingit people, which hosts traditional dance and song performances in summer and has richly decorated interiors.
Sheet'ka Kwaan Naa Kahidi was built by the Sitka Tlingit tribe. Its exterior imitates a traditional clan longhouse, and its façade is painted with large family crest designs. The interior has finely carved wooden screens. On cruise-ship days in summer, an approximately 30-minute traditional Tlingit dance performance is staged. The dancers wear Chilkat blankets and button blankets and tell stories of their clans. Admission is about US$15. Performance times follow the cruise schedule, so check in advance.
