  • Filson Shirt Designs

    Carved into silver, the fiddlehead catches my eye as light reflects off a displayed cuff’s surface. We are standing in Mary Goddard’s studio in Sheet’Ká (Sitka), Alaska.

Copper sheets, large unfinished tina’as, and a formline eagle and raven sit waiting to take flight on her worktable.

    As we near the launch of our 2023 season, we are elated to unveil a new evolution of the Alaskan Dream Cruises logo. The new logo was designed by talented Tlingit artist and Sitka, Alaska resident, Mary Goddard. Gunalchéesh (thank you), Mary!

    All Tlingit people belong to one of two groups known as moieties—Eagle and Raven.
