A must see to understand Alaska's natives and land
From the moment you walk through the doors you can see the great effort made to provide a place of awareness about the people of Alaska. The dioramas were very informative and beautifully displayed and tell their story. What a beautiful, peaceful place.

Gorgeous Museum, Great learning experience
Loved the informative nature of the native people of this area. I loved the examples of beadwork and authentic dress that were included in the exhibit. This should be one of your first stops if you are in the Fairbanks area and it is close to public transportation if you chose not to rent a car. This was a great way to also learn about the area and things to do while visiting the area. It is a free exhibit but does a great job of highlighting the different seasons of life in that part of Alaska as well as some of the advocates of life in Northern Alaska. Well worth the visit. There is also a saving our language exhibit. There is also the public lands information center housed within the building. The rangers were very nice and helpful in understanding some of the available exhibits and information. There is a gift shop but as I was there during Christmas it was closed the day I visited.
