Juneau Alaska History:

Juneau was named after gold prospector Joe Juneau. The Tlingit name of the town is Dzántik’i Héeni “flounder creek”. From before the time of European settlement in the Americas, the Gastineau Channel was a favorite fishing ground for local Tlingit Indians who had inhabited the area for thousands of years. The native cultures are rich with artistic traditions including carving, weaving, singing and dancing.
