Hydaburg Totem Park, Alaska, United States
5.0 (3 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #2 in Prince of Wales Island Points of Interest & Landmarks • Nature & Wildlife Areas
There’s something special here
Tucked away on Prince of Wales Island is the tiny hamlet of Hydaburg, a community filled with Haida people, their stories, their culture and their totem poles. The park, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, features several poles which have been either preserved or recreated and brought to Hydaburg from other communities. There is strong evidence of an active and productive group of Haida people who are proud of their heritage and eager to tell their stories. Be sure to stop by the carving shed, located close to the park, where you can meet the carvers and see their latest works of art.

An Educational Treat...
The park itself is majestic.....but welcoming. Learn how to read the story, the totems tell. The totems are well maintained so their colours are vivid and very impressive.

Went on Sunday
Saw the new Long House(the White long house) Still was nice. Loved the Totem park. Loved the people! Highly recommend and stay at Micki O'Neil's B & B nothing more traditional than that.
