welcome to yakutat

“The Situk/Arhnklin/Lost River areas are the traditional lands of the Yakutat Teikweidí Brown Bear clan. The annual run of five species of salmon feeds us physically, provides us with an economic lifestyle that is unique, and nourishes us spiritually.

​

We have been stewards of this river for centuries. We still subsist on salmon as our ancestors have. The commercial fishery continues to economically support the community of Yakutat. Our children attend culture camp to practice their culture as their ancestors have. It is Haa Aani, sacred land. The Teikweidí and the other four Tlingit clans of Yakutat hope you enjoy your visit. We ask that you will continue to conserve the resource as well as continue to practice stewardship."

WILL LOCAL NETS AFFECT MY SPORTS CATCH?

"Fish don't run every tide and not every day is a bonus day. The nets don't stretch far across the river and won't make a significant difference in your sport catch. When the commercial fishermen are catching, you will too."
