Carver Joseph
At National Park
Tlingit carver Tommy Joseph has returned to Sitka National Historical Park to carve a new reproduction of the “Waasgo Pole.”
The first reproduction of the pole is displayed inside Totem Hall and can be seen during weekly open hours, noon-4 p.m. Friday through Sunday.
Joseph will work in the totem carving shed behind the visitor center, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
‘‘He welcomes questions and discussion,’’ the park said.
NPS reminds visitors to maintain a six-foot physical distance from Joseph to prevent potential spread of COVID-19. His work area is roped off, and the park requests that visitors remain outside of the barrier.
The park will be documenting the progress of the pole and uploading to the park website and social media (the park can be found on Facebook and Instagram). More information about Joseph’s work and the pole being carved will be given throughout the summer.
For additional information visit the park’s webpage at www.nps.gov/sitk or call 747-0110.
