Last post about Alaska: our visit to Ketchikan, named after Ketchikan Creek which flows through the town, and the capital of Native American totem poles. We visited Potlatch Park, built on the old fishing grounds of the Tlingit Natives of Southeast Alaska and home to some beautiful Native American art, and Creek Street, Ketchikan’s old red light district. It was built over water because it was too hard to blast away the rocky hills surrounding the creek, a common story in Ketchikan.
