Forty meters of carved cedar: the totem pole raised for the 1967 Alaska centennial makes Kake home to one of the tallest in the world. Kake Airport (ICAO: PAFE) links this Tlingit village of around 550 on Kupreanof Island to Juneau and Petersburg by air taxi. Freight, however, comes by barge and the Alaska Marine Highway ferry; meaningful air cargo does not exist here, and shipments are routed through Juneau.
