Tlakw Aan
“Tlakw Aan” (Klukwan) translates to “Eternal Village” or “The Village That Has Always Been.” Klukwan is located in the upper Inside Passage of Southeast Alaska just 18 miles south of the Canadian border and 22 miles north by road from Haines, AK.
The longevity of this “Eternal Village” has always been connected to abundant resources available at the confluence between the Chilkat, Klehini, and Tsirku Rivers. Klukwan relies upon the health of the rivers, animals, and plants to support a subsistence-based economy that ultimately supports the ability to thrive as a healthy, happy, and interconnected community.
