Sealaska Corporation

The Sealaska Heritage Institute will engage in a one-year exhibition development process to design an exhibit that showcases Tlingit Indian clan hats from the perspective of the Tlingit people to educate the public about the functions, roles, and uses of clan hats today. The process will include several meetings with exhibit designers and Sealaska Heritage Institute staff to develop the conceptual and final design plans for all aspects of the exhibit. The exhibit will be the inaugural show in Sealaska Heritage Institute’s new building in downtown Juneau, Alaska. This exhibit will benefit tribal members and promote cross-cultural understanding as Alaskans and tourists learn more about the cultural significance and artistic characteristics of clan hats and the ways of the Tlingit people.
