Metlakatla Founders Day Celebration
The Metlakatla Founders Day Celebration!
On an August 7 about 130 years ago, a group of 826 Tsimshian people from British Columbia followed William Duncan, an Anglican missionary, over the Canadian border to Annette Island.
Now Annette Islands Reserve is Alaska’s only Indian reservation, and, ever since that day in 1887, the Metlakatla Indian Community has celebrated its unique founding story.
There should be artist booths and other activities, call to find out more.
