 Close up with a Tlingit carver by RickinDutch
The center opened in 1997 and has been a huge success. It is open year round and gets very busy during the summer. During the winter they have a great program each Saturday where you can learn dances and work with the native artists.

 ULU Factory Trolley Bus by vichatherly
Every souvenir shop seems to sell ULU knives in, which is a traditional Eskimo cutting tool. However, at least at this outlet they give you a quick demonstration on how to use the tool and actually make them on the premise. I was wondering around and remembered that I may already have an ULU at home without even knowing what it was. I had a look when I got home but have yet to find it in one of the kitchen drawers.
It's not the most exciting of places, to be fair, but if you are at a loose end at least the trolley ride is a bit of a laugh and is free. Leave a Comment

For me this center provided so much useful and educating information of Alaska Native's past and present. It is a fascinating center for all visitors who want to learn and appreciate the life of the orginal Alaskans.
There are different kind of exhibitions and the schedule of happenings varies, so take a look at their web pages before you go: www.alaskanative.net so you can plan your visit before you go.
Today Alaska Natives represent approximately 16 percent of Alaska's residents, and are a significant segment of the population in over 200 rural villages and communities. Many Alaska Natives have retained their customs, language, hunting and fishing practices and ways of living since "the creation times."
Alaska's Native people are divided into eleven distinct cultures, speaking twenty different languages. Leave a Comment Address: 8800 Heritage Center DriveDirections: From Glenn Highway: Exit at Muldoon Road NORTH, off the Glenn Highway (be sure to look for the brown directional signs)
