ANCHORAGE, Monday we headed into the city We stopped at the Alaska Native Heritage Center. Here we learned all about all 10 Native cultures that make up all Native Alaskans. We took a guided tour of model village sites of the different tribes and saw the type of houses they built. There was dancing and story telling as well as Native People working on their crafts. We really enjoyed the dancing.
Next we spent almost four hours at the Alaska Museum. There was a gallery with art by local Alaskan artists which was very interesting and a new exhibit hall built especially to house 600 Alaskan Native artifacts that the Smithsonian has had and have been returned to Alaska. This exhibit was wonderful. We had a yummy grilled salmon dinner. I think we have had our omega 3's for a lifetime.
