Eklutna Pow Wow Grounds
There is something profound about being on traditional sacred land to conduct ceremonies and share knowledge. The Native Village of Eklutna has such a place. The two granite knobs, which are the namesake of our tribe, are not only beautiful to look at, but they hold within them the stories of our ancestors. The knobs have served our people since time immemorial as they are just adjacent to the Knik River from which we harvest salmon, while the knobs themselves have served as our ancient burial grounds.
