SMP064
Walker mines familiar territory here with this detailed look into the grounding of a freighter on the Aleutian Islands in 2004.

Among Southeast Alaska's best-known tourist attractions are its totem parks, showcases for monumental wood sculptures by Tlingit and Haida artists.

Dramatically altering the patronage and display of historic Tlingit and Haida crests, this New Deal restoration project had two key aims: to provide economic aid...
