Skagway means absolutely NOTHING in the English Language

In the traditional Lingít language, Shgagwei means “place with solid core trees” for the driftwood that washes ashore.

The Heart-Wooded Place.

I challenge visitors to bring home gifts that are “Made in Skagway”.

Gifts that tell a story about Shgagwei’s natural beauty.

Bring knowledge home as a memento of your experience on the traditional lands of the Chilkoot Lingít people since time immemorial.
