- Ketchikan - We will drive to Herring Cove to find/view bears. Minutes away for this location is Beaver Falls. Feel the cool freshness of the water flowing with the rich green forest. As we drive along Tongass Narrows, we will be making stops for picture opportunities and making your memories last. Salmon Ladder is a great attraction during the spawn of the salmon. It will remind you of watching Discovery Channels. Potlatch Park is a replica of a native village, locally owned and operated by a Tshimpshian/Haida family. This property was once a fish camp for natives. Visit their musuem and see a totem carving center and a clan house that resemble home to my ancestors.

Embark on a journey with a true native of Alaska. Discover the unique features of my heritage and the historical significance of Ketchikan. Learn about the plants we use for edible and healing purposes, and how we gather and prepare them. I hail from an artistic lineage; my grandfather, James Edenshaw, contributed to the carving of Totem Bight, while my brother, James Edenshaw, is a respected Tlingit Master Carver. My Uncle George Lewis Jr served as a Tlingit Code talker, and my mother perfected the art of bead work. If you’re keen to explore my heritage, I can bring you to one of four sites to marvel at Totem Poles.
