Alutiiq Museum

The Students Conservation Association is sponsoring a paid summer internship in visitor services working at both the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and the Alutiiq Museum. Help to teach cultural activities and travel around Kodiak.

Send a message with pictographs, play word games, make paper dolls, create a tea party, and much more. Find a free downloadable page of our activity book at the start of each month.

For more than 60 years, the Baumann/Helgason family lived beside Uganik Passage, mining, gardening, harvesting local resources, and guiding sport hunters. Learn about their camp.

We are renovating the museum to support our programs. The new Alutiiq Museum will feature a classroom, a gathering area, double the exhibit space, a larger store and much more.

We host a variety of events from arts workshops and language lessons to lectures on recent research and a monthly cultural orientation that is available in person or online.

The Alutiiq Word of the Week has been sharing language and cultural traditions for over 26 years. Find all 679 lessons in our online, searchable archive. What will you learn?

We have received three cultural objects for our collections—a 19th-century wooden bowl collected on Kodiak Island and two skin bags by Alutiiq artist Lalla Williams. The Coe Center of Santa Fe, New Mexico gifted them to us.
