About Wooshkeetaan Kootéeyaa and Áakʼw Kootéeyaa

The Wooshkeetaan Kootéeyaa and the Áakʼw Kootéeyaa are a pair of totem poles in Juneau, Alaska. Commissioned for the city's 1980 centennial, the poles represent the Wooshkeetaan Clan and the Raven Clan, opposing moieties of the Áakʼw Kwáan people. The Wooshkeetaan Kootéeyaa depicts the United States government, in the form of Uncle Sam, as a reminder that the government had not apologized for the 1882 Angoon bombardment, when a Tlingit village was shelled by the Navy.
