Paint A Tlingit Dance Paddle Workshop

Join Us for the Tlingit Dance Paddle Painting Workshop with Wéidaaká Yóodóohaa (Bill Pfeifer, Jr.). This hands-on experience explores the artistry and cultural significance of Tlingit ceremonial paddles (axáa), rooted in Southeast Alaska’s coastal communities.

The Role of Paddles in Tlingit Culture: For the Tlingit, paddles symbolize connection, identity, and storytelling. Used in canoes for hunting and fishing, these paddles come in various shapes and sizes, crafted mainly from yellow cedar for its durability.
