Totem Bight State Historical Park is a 33-section of land 13 ha state stop in the U.S. province of Alaska. It is found north of Ketchikan. The recreation center is situated on the previous site of a conventional Native campground known as Mud Village and Mud Bight Village. It contains an accumulation of chain of commands and a copy of a conventional chieftain's home. This wood-outline structure has a low oval passageway, driving into a square chamber with a focal fire pit, embellished with cut "house posts". An adapted raven decorates the fundamental exterior. The carvings on the house were executed by Charles Brown, a Native from Saxman.

The CCC undertaking manufactured the group house and set 15 chain of commands, the greater part of them reproductions of nineteenth century posts.
