CELEBRATION 2016

Time-honored customs made new
The Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian celebrate the perpetuation of their traditional
culture and arts through the biennial Celebration. It is the largest gathering of
Southeast Alaska Native peoples in the world. I hope you join us at Celebration
2016. Come witness our traditional songs and dances. See the winning Northwest
Coast art at our juried art competition and visit our Native art market. Make Juneau,
Alaska, a destination this year. Come celebrate with us.
— Rosita Kaaháni Worl, President, Sealaska Heritage Institute
