Map
of where we are in
Alaska and on Prince of Wales Island.
Prince of Wales Island is located 75 miles
west of Ketchikan and 600 miles north of Seattle. The island is
notably the the third largest in the United States with 2,231 miles.
It is 135 miles long and 45 miles wide with eleven communities scattered
around the island. There are approximately 4,900 year-round residents.
Craig is the largest community with 2,136 residents.
Haida, Tlingit and Tsimshian native cultures
are represented on the island. Just a few miles up the road from
Craig is Klawock, named for Kloo-wah, a member of the Tahn-da-quan
Indians of Moira Sound. Klawock's Totem Park has the largest collection
of authentic totem poles in Alaska. It is also home to the second
oldest hatchery in Alaska and is distinguished as having the first
cannery in Alaska.
