[close up of totem carving showing faces, possibly from the Konakadet house post, Klukwan Whale House]
Scope and Contents
Herem photographed the Whale House screen and house posts in the late summer of 1994 during the time it was housed in Seattle, and made the images available to museums and libraries. The five images show close up detail of sections of the house posts and one full image of the screen. Information about Klukwan and the Whale House may be found in books in the Historical Collections. The story of the sale and repatriation of the Whalehouse artifacts is told in the article: http://www.ankn.uaf.edu/curriculum/Tlingit/WhaleHouse/part1.html
