Through these experiences you will discover that you have grown as a person, and will realize that the Taku is one of those big wild places that can change lives.
Experience the landscape, wildlife, and Tlingit culture firsthand. Walking alongside the Taku River Tlingit, as well as your fellow students and leaders, you will begin to develop a relationship to this place, one that the Tlingit have been cultivating since time immemorial. Staying at a Tlingit family camp on the river, you will catch glimpses of just how connected these people are to their territory, and what they are willing to risk for its well-being.
On this program you may see spawning salmon as they battle their way upstream and watch grizzly bears scooping these nutrient rich fish out of the river. Fish for salmon, and learn how to clean and gut your catch. Listen to a Tlingit elder and learn how to offer a prayer of thanks to the River. Find fresh wolf tracks, bear hair rubbed on old-growth trees, and sturdy moose antlers shed at the end of the winter.
On this program, you will learn about respect; for the land, each other, and yourself.
