“Maasi’choo for a beautiful place!”
I really enjoyed the potlatch display. It is really authentic, down to the type of modern blanket that is now used and the kerchiefs, and the various modern life displays on rural Alaska. They felt just like home to me. Like MY entry way and freezer, and the stuff we take out in OUR canoe. It shows real respect for both the past and, more importantly, the Alaskan present.
“This is certainly the most beautiful visitor center we’ve ever been to!!”
“Great place to start a Fairbanks tour.”
“It took my breath away and reminded me so much of when I was a little girl in the cold and dark of the Brooks Range.”
“I always swell with pride looking at and learning about our native culture, especially when it’s presented so beautifully.”
“I’ve lived here 13 years and this is exactly what I needed to learn about Alaska.”
“There is no place like this place.”
“This is a credit to your town. Thank you for great services!”
“I’ve lived here 13 years and this is exactly what I needed to learn about Alaska.”
“Living here most of my life, I am well-versed in the lifestyles of Alaska and living in the bush. The work put in to portraying the life here in the dioramas is outstanding. I miss Big. He would love it here. Thank you for bringing him home.”
“I absolutely love everything about this display. It reminds me of who I am and why I love Alaska and never want to leave.”
