Cultural Collection

The Shee Atiká Cultural Collection is housed at our headquarters in Sitka, Alaska. Shee Atiká is a modern spelling of the original Tlingit word for Sitka Kwáan. A kwáan is vaguely akin to a tribe and is more accurately defined as a geographical area where several clans lived in close association with one another. The Cultural Collection celebrates the land where the ancestors of our shareholders settled several thousand years ago.
