This historic photograph, taken in the summer of 1895 at
Juneau, captures a view of what was known as Juneau Indian Village, sometimes
referred to by non-Natives at the time as the Ranch or Rancherie (as the
original photographer’s writing denotes). At this time a number of Tlingit
people lived in the Juneau Indian Village, though some also lived at Auk
Village and on Douglas Island. The Juneau Indian Village was located in the vicinity
of where the Elizabeth Peratrovich Hall (formerly known as the ANB Hall) now
stands, along Willoughby Ave and Village Street in Juneau. The shoreline has
since been filled in with mining tailings, altering the geography and coastline
of the area. This photograph was marketed and sold in a set of historic views
of Southeast Alaska to tourists.
