Alaska Native Heritage Center
On a 26-acre site facing the Chugach Mountains, this facility provides an introduction to Alaska Native peoples. The spacious Gathering Place has interpretive displays, artifacts, photographs, demonstrations, Alaska Native dances, storytelling, and films, along with a gift shop selling crafts and artwork. Step outside for a stroll around the adjacent lake, where seven village exhibits represent the traditional structures of Alaska Native cultural groups. Inside, you'll find tools, games, and innovations used in the past, plus hosts and storytellers during the summer months. The Center is tucked in the woods on the edge of town, but a shuttle runs June through August to connect guests to the Log Cabin Visitors Center and Anchorage Museum Downtown.
