Hoonah (Tlingit Xunaa, “lee of the north wind”) sits on Icy Strait on the north shore of Chichagof Island, about 30 miles west of Juneau. It is one of the largest Tlingit villages in Alaska and the principal village of the Huna Tlingit, who originally settled Glacier Bay, Icy Strait and Cross Sound. The 2020 census counted 931 residents. Access is by Alaska Marine Highway ferry or by plane, with Alaska Seaplanes flying several times a day from Juneau; from May to September cruise ships call at Icy Strait Point, the converted cannery owned by Huna Totem Corporation. The Hoonah Ranger District manages nearby forest roads, cabins and Neka Hot Springs.
