Stopping in Juneau on an Alaska cruise? This peaceful walk leads through Overstreet Park toward The Whale Project, featuring the KOOTÉEYAA – Totem Poles, including the powerful Ishkahí ttaan clan pole of the Raven moiety.
Carved by Jon Rowan, Tlingit Master Artist of Klawock, this pole tells the story of Raven opening the Box of Daylight, releasing the Sun and bringing light to the world. Also featured are the Frog and Sea Lion crests, gained through supernatural encounters.
Located just a short walk from the cruise docks, this is a must-see cultural stop in Juneau for Alaska cruisers looking to experience authentic Native history before returning to the ship.
