Looking east from the Old Native Shoppe, is a great view of Mt Drum.

The store was never a shop, although that was the original intent. Instead, it became a floor display and window displays of retro items--mostly decades-old uniforms with a relationship to the old Territory of Alaska, as displayed on vintage mannequins. 

View the individual rooms: 

Rms 1 & 2 
Rms C-9 & C-10
Rms 3, 5 & 6 (basic  rooms)
 ATCO Rm 4: queen + twin 
aka "Klutina Family Room:" 4 bedrooms + 
Queen room + bunkhouse
(2-night minimum stay)
