Saxman Village and their Totem Poles

Saxman Village in Ketchikan, Alaska, is home to the indigenous people,  the Tlingit Indians.  This was a real treat because we got to see the clan house and watch the native people perform their welcome dances.  Their garb was gorgeous and was very colorful.  These totem poles were everywhere and each one had a story attached.  Of course, that is what totem poles depict...duh.
