Community: Kasaan

Kasaan means “Beautiful Village” in Tlingit. It is located at the end of a 17-mile gravel road. Being so remote, access is a challenge. Despite this, Kasaan is a vibrant community with a flourishing school greenhouse, the Totem Trail Café, annual harvesting events, an active carving and artist community and natural splendor. Kasaan is developing a tourism industry that celebrates this community’s remote beauty and unique cultural history.

Kasaan is one of two Haida villages left in the United States. It has one of the only traditional Haida homes that is still standing.
