A 100-year-old Chilkat robe has come home to Southeast Alaska. A Seattle couple originally purchased the robe in 1995. Upon realizing its significance, they began reaching out to experts about its origins.
Alaska Native weavers, historians and area residents are eager to see the return of the sacred clan object.
