Chilkat Indian Village

The Chilkat Indian Village will work with professional museum exhibit designers to develop, program, and install the Chilkat Cultural Landscape Interactive Media Exhibit in the Jilkaat Kwaan Cultural Heritage Center. Consisting of two interactive media kiosks, the exhibit will enable visitors to delve more deeply into the intimate relationship between the Chilkat Tlingits and their natural environment, thereby gaining knowledge of and an appreciation for Tlingit culture and values. Tribal members will work with the consultants throughout the project to ensure all activities respect Tlingit protocols and to gain new skills and hands-on training in exhibit development, design, installation, operation, and maintenance. Upon completion, the center will hold a public exhibit unveiling and use the new kiosks to build a greater public understanding of the Tlingit worldview.
