Vision
The Duncan Cottage Museum will nurture a constructive dialogue on the legacy of the missionary William Duncan in the history of Metlakatla, Alaska. Like many missionaries who worked among Native people during the late 19th and early 20th century, Duncan suppressed our cultural traditions.
The Duncan Cottage Museum will actively promote our community's healing from this by moving forward together with our visitors through exhibitions and programs that encourage participation in and appreciation for Tsimshian culture and fosters an active interest in Metlakatla's history.
