Biographical / Historical

In 1982, to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the U.S. Navy bombardment of Angoon, Kootznoowoo Heritage Foundation hired Linn A. Forrest Architects (now MRV Architects) of Juneau to conduct a detailed survey to determine the extent of repairs required to make Angoon’s remaining traditional clan houses habitable and historically accurate. In addition to these projects, the centerpiece of the rebuilding project was the design and reconstruction of a traditional community house to serve as a focal point for cultural and social activities in the village.
