User:Smhgrad1967/Howkan Village

Howkan Village was a Haida Indian village on the west coast of Long Island in the Alexander Archipelago of Southeast Alaska. It included twenty-eight families listed in the 1900 U.S. Census and was home to miners, carvers, fishermen, boat pilots, mat weavers, a teacher, and a cannery accountant as well as their wives and children. Some of the houses were of western design but many retained the ancient totem poles.
