Woven in the Wave

Woven in the Wave

Sitka ⋅ Native Owned

Hello! I'm Cayla, the creator and owner of Woven in the Waves based in Sitka, Alaska. I am Lingít and belong to the Dakl'aweidí tribe of Angoon. I worked several jobs in the service industry before I began playing around with macrame in 2017. My hope for this work is to come alongside people in my community to help integrate more of the arts into our mental health work locally and statewide. While I spend a fair chunk of my time creating, I also aspire to work within the community to grow connections and accessibility to diverse forms of healing.

Bear Country

Bear Country

Sitka ⋅ Native-owned

Kris Karsunky and Derek James just bought this business this summer. They changed the name and had a Yakutat artist create their formline bear paw logo. Right now it is a small convenience store with the addition of a coffee menu. They currently have one youth Tlingit artist with formline prints in the store. Their goal is to keep adding more native artwork to sell in the store. They are excited to keep expanding and making this a place that locals want to come shop at!
