Totem Bight State Historical Park

Totem Bight State Historical Park lies on the shore of Tongass Narrows, north of Ketchikan, Alaska. It was created in the late 1930s through a Great Depression-era program, funded through the Civilian Conservation Corps, that hired Tlingit and Haida carvers to restore or recarve totem poles from their ancestral villages for several regional "totem parks". The park's poles stand along a forest trail that leads to a reconstructed clan house. Tlingit and Haida community members maintain ongoing connections to this place and its totem poles.

In collaboration with Alaska State Parks and the Ketchikan Indian Community, CyArk documented the park to create a free virtual Tapestry experience in which visitors hear from Tlingit and Haida community members. The project was made possible through CyArk's Heritage Amplified grant program, generously supported by Iron Mountain.
