An important message from Visit Sitka:
We are honored to welcome visitors to a place shaped by living Alaska Native cultures, histories, and traditions. As you explore our community, you may encounter totem poles. Please understand that these carry deep meaning for the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian peoples, including histories, identities, relationships, responsibilities, clan stories, and connections to ancestors and place.
Totem poles are not EVER props for social media content, viral trends, or entertainment. They are not relics of the past. They are part of living cultures that continue today.
Taking photos can be a meaningful way to remember your time here, but please do so with respect. Do not climb on, touch, imitate, or interact with totem poles in ways that diminish their cultural significance or the people and communities they represent.
We are grateful to share the beauty of Sitka with visitors from around the world. We hope you leave with incredible memories and beautiful photos, but more than that, we hope you leave with a deeper appreciation for the people, cultures, and stories that make this place so special.
