Souvenir Shopping in Alaska | Suite101.com
America's 49th state is a land of superlatives. Everything is bigger here, from the salmon to the grizzly bears to the mountains to the legend. For souvenir shoppers, Alaska offers an interesting blend of mementos. Native Alaskan crafts range from rough whalebone carvings to sophisticated contemporary art, much of which references traditional culture. Masks, totem poles, and animal sculptures are favorite souvenirs. Other popular choices for Alaska souvenir shoppers include mementos from the Iditarod, Alaskan foods such as salmon, honey, and berries (just like what the grizzlies eat!), and furs.
Souvenir Shopping for Native Alaskan CraftsMasks. carvings, totem poles, baskets, antler carvings, and drums are staple items at tourist shops, with better quality being available in galleries and at the University of Alaska's Museum of the North Gift Shop in Fairbanks, which carries a variety of high-quality art as well as craft objects from all over the state.
Smaller scale carvings in wood, stone, whalebone, resin, or polymer clays are often decorated with bits of ivory (walrus tusks) or feathers. Common themes include polar bears, seals, waterfowl and raptors. Some lovely and complex carvings show scenes of traditional Alaskan life, for instance, a fisherman or hunter in a canoe. These can be quite intricate and detailed, as well as expensive (several hundred dollars, depending on size and complexity).
Masks and totem poles are native to coastal southeaster Alaska. Small scale models of totem poles are made for the tourist trade at prices starting around $40, Masks may be made of painted wood, whalebone mask, or caribou skin masks. The spirit masks, dream catchers, and spirit wheels are authentic parts of the native Alaskan culture. They both represent legends and bring together the physical and spiritual worlds. Prices might start at around $100 for a simple whalebone carving, and go up over $1000 for a full-fledged unique spirit mask .
