Rooted in Tradition
Some see us as a showcase of authentic Alaskan craftsmanship; others view us as a gateway to the culture and traditions of Alaska’s Indigenous artisans. But everyone who visits Alaskan Authentic leaves with more than just a handcrafted piece—they leave with a story, a connection, and a piece of Alaska’s spirit.
Founded with a deep respect for Alaska’s Indigenous communities, Alaskan Authentic was created with two key purposes:
- To preserve and celebrate the artistry, traditions, and cultural heritage of Alaskan Native artisans.
- To provide a platform where Alaskan Native artists can share their work with the world—ensuring they are fairly compensated for their craftsmanship.
Each piece featured at Alaskan Authentic is handmade by talented women from villages across Alaska, using traditional techniques passed down through generations. From hand-carved totems to intricate beadwork and woven baskets, every item tells a story of resilience, heritage, and the land that inspires it.
When you purchase from AlaskanAuthentic.com, you're not just buying a product—you’re supporting the artists, their families, and the continuation of Alaska’s rich artistic traditions.
Welcome to Alaskan Authentic—where the heart of Alaska’s culture lives on.

Standing with Native Alaskan Villages
Life in rural Alaska is beautiful but harsh. Native Alaskan villages face extreme conditions year-round, with long winters, limited resources, and isolation from major supply chains. For many, essential goods like food, fuel, and medical supplies are difficult to access and incredibly expensive. Harsh weather, including subzero temperatures and powerful storms, often cuts off communities from much-needed aid. When unexpected challenges arise—whether it's a food shortage, fuel crisis, or natural disaster—many villages have nowhere to turn.
At Alaskan Authentic, we believe in giving back to the people who inspire our mission. Your donations go directly to supporting Native Alaskan communities during times of need. Contributions help provide emergency relief, heating fuel, food shipments, and other essential supplies to families struggling with the realities of remote living. Every dollar makes a difference in sustaining the cultural traditions and well-being of these resilient communities.
By supporting this effort, you're not just donating—you’re standing with Alaska’s Indigenous people, ensuring that generations to come can continue to thrive in their ancestral lands. Together, we can make a real impact.
