Alaska

Culture

Alaskan culture may not immediately appear different than the other 48 states, yet the state’s outdoorsy inhabitants engage in a range of activities which are unique to Alaska. Some of these activities can be experienced through the state’s annual events, such as the Tesoro Iron Dog Snowmobile Race from Anchorage to Nome and on to Fairbanks Other not-to-be missed cultural happenings include the BP World Ice Art Championships (Fairbanks) and the Sitka Whale Fest (Sitka).

Visits to native settlements can be made on Alaskan tours, while Anchorage’s Alaska Native Heritage Center encourages cross-cultural exchanges between visitors and native and American Indians. It is here where visitors will find the state’s most detailed exhibits on Alaskan cultural groups. Additionally, artworks by local people are widely sold in the state’s galleries and souvenir shops.
