Many people gathered in May 2017 to watch the raising of the Eagle and Raven poles in front of the Huna Tribal House “Xunaa Shuká Hít”. Residents of Hoonah, Gustavus, and even Juneau joined National Park Service staff in celebrating this event in the traditional homeland of the Huna Tlingit -- Glacier Bay. Using a fork lift was not, of course, the traditional method of raising a totem pole. However, embracing available technology is common in Tlingit culture. A Tlingit friend once said, “Don’t you think my grandfather would have used a chainsaw if someone gave him one?” Indeed! Photographer: Sean Neilson
