Traveling Boxes

Check It Out!

Bring Alutiiq culture to your classroom, camp, program, or event with our traveling education boxes. Each box explores an aspect of Alutiiq heritage with hands-on activities that can be adjusted for many ages. Materials come in a sturdy box with instructions and they can be shipped to you.

How it Works

Items from the mask education box.

Anyone may check out a box for up to two weeks. There is no charge to use the materials. If you need shipping, the museum pays for the outbound shipping and the borrower pays to ship the box back. Borrowers are responsible for returning the box and its contents on time and in good condition. Questions?  Please contact Leda Beuthin, 844-425-8844.
