Juneau photojournalist Brian Wallace has been documenting the region for decades. Wallace, who is Tlingit, carries on a family tradition of documenting and sharing Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian culture in the region and to the rest of the world.
Earlier this year, the Sealaska Heritage Institute recognized Wallace with the 2020 Person of Distinction Award during Celebration.
KTOO’s Rashah McChesney hosts a special edition of Juneau Afternoon on Friday focused on the work of award-winning photojournalist Brian Wallace. Wallace and McChesney will explore the craft while examining images spanning decades of the region’s history.
