In this photo taken Feb. 13, 2018, Rick Harris, right, senior research fellow for the Sealaska Heritage Institute, speaks at the Southeast Conference's Mid-Session Summit in Juneau, Alaska. Watching the Winter Olympics this past week, Harris saw something that surprised him. The Canadian snowboarding team was on screen, wearing jackets that carried designs inspired by Tlingit and Kwakiutl artwork. Harris knows native art of the Northwest is not only culturally valuable, but it is also popular and could be an economic driver for Southeast Alaska. (Richard McGrail/Juneau Empire via AP)
