| Summary: | Caption on image: 111. Indian Town. Juneau. PH Coll 311.13 Veazie Wilson was as amateur photographer who documented the Fort Wrangell and Juneau area as well as the Yukon Territory between 1894-1895. He wanted to create a guide book to attract miners to the Alaskan region, but died of typhoid fever in 1895 prior to the publication of his book. "What has come to be known as the "Indian Village" was traditionally called "Lingit Aani" by the local Tlingit people. The area was once the traditional summer village site of the Auk Tlingit Natives. The neighborhood lies within the area bounded by West Willoughby Avenue on the south, Distin Avenue on the north, Indian Street on the east, and Capital Avenue on the north. The entire neighborhood is recognized as an historic site of the Auke Village. Only a handful of historic buildings remain. These have not been surveyed and therefore are not named individually."--http://www.juneau.org/history/village.php, viewed Jan. 5, 2018
