The Chilkat Valley, located in the upper Lynn Canal in Southeast Alaska, is one of the most vibrant and biodiverse ecosystems in the country, characterized by pristine braided glacial rivers, old-growth Sitka spruce forests, and multiple large mountain ranges.
The local communities of Haines/Deishu and Klukwan rely on the Chilkat Valley’s clean water, wild salmon, berries, and moose for their way of life.
The Chilkat Valley is a destination for tens of thousands of annual visitors who travel from all around the globe to experience the beautiful scenery, unparalleled access to remote recreation, world-renowned backcountry skiing, and wildlife viewing.

“Food security for the valley is still possible after thousands of years of harvesting. As stewards of the land, it is our job to ensure that our children and the generations to follow will have the food security we have had in our lifetime.”
