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.
