About Sitka

Tlingit, Russian, and American settlers have all called Sitka home. Today, cultural influences from all three groups remain. Sitka is an island community boldly living between the mountains and sea, where the arts flourish and an ancient native culture still thrives. Surrounded by rainforest, we share our home with brown bears, bald eagles, orcas, otters, and all five species of salmon.
