Details About Metlakatla

Metlakatla is located in the Inside Passage and is home to the Tsimshian people who have been living on the island since 1887. A short distance away from Ketchikan and right across the border from Canada, this small community represents a unique example of how ancient rituals can be interwoven with modern life and the values of the west. Travelers looking to explore the Tsimshian way of life will be rewarded with cultural hands-on experiences, including live song and dance performances in full regalia.
