In hopes of expanding the public knowledge and awareness of the native American art in our community and elsewhere, the Southwest Seattle Historical Society has teamed up with Duke's Restaurant to offer an Alaskan Totem Cruise Sept. 19-26.

The seven night cruise to Glacier Bay is being promoted in a series of dinners put on by Duke's owner Duke Moscrip and feature northwest guitar legend Michael Powers.

On the cruise those aboard can see and learn about the origin of Seattle’s colorful totem poles.

Moscrip and Duke's Executive Chef “Wild Bill” Ranniger will be on board the ms Westerdam to provide special cooking and socializing opportunities.

The promotional information from the Society said:
"In Ketchikan, see the largest collection of standing totem poles in the world, along with a gorgeous Clan House.
In Sitka, stroll a lush rain forest and view even more traditional totem poles, surrounded by nature.
Juneau is the third port of call, plus scenic cruising in Glacier Bay National Park and a stop in Victoria, B.C."
