  1. Alaska

The Great Land

Alaska in one of my favorite vacation places. It is moody and beautiful and ever-changing. It is a place worthy of more than a cruise ship visit from Vancouver or Seattle where you may only have hours in a port. It requires days of walking and hiking, getting to know the landscape and the people. It is more than one visit. Take your time and strike out on your own.

    One of the totems on Totem Trail in the Sitka Historical National Park.
    This is an example of a totem that would be raised during a potlatch - note the rings on the smokestack hat of the top figure. That indicates the number of potlatches held by that particular individual. Potlatches were very important - wedding, name-giving ceremonies and feasting would accompany this event. These were expensive and time-consuming but expected affairs in Tlingit society.
