Metlakatla

Metlakatla

Metlakatla is the only native reservation in Alaska, home to approximately 1,400 of the only Tsimshian Natives in the state, and a unique introduction to the native people of the Pacific Northwest. Situated on Annette Island just a short distance away from Ketchikan and right across the border from Canada, the residents of Metlakatla work together to provide for their community. Commercial fishing and processing is the lifeblood of the town, and you will see Annette Island Packing Company perched on stilts over the water. This small community represents a unique example of how ancient rituals can be interwoven with modern life and the values of the west.

Currency

The U.S. dollar (USD) is the official currency. Traveler's checks and credit cards are also widely accepted.
