Unlike most of the United States, Alaska never established reservations for its native peoples. The government shelled out money and locals formed corporations, many of which survive today and are the reason Alaska is so rich in cultural history. This book looks at the Alaskan people - the Inuits, Tsimshian, Haida, Tlingit, Aleuts, Kodiaks and Athabascan - and what they offer the traveller. It tells of the best totem pole sites, worthwhile heritage centres (and those you can skip), intriguing native-run lodges and inns, historic sites plus places to stay, eat, play, explore and discover.
