Wherever you go, you'll find unique Alaskan products and crafts. Be sure to look for the "Made in Alaska" logo, which indicates an item genuinely manufactured in Alaska. If you find this logo, it identifies the item as a Native Alaskan handicraft. Handcrafted items, made of walrus ivory and other by-products of subsistence hunting, provide an income source for Native Alaskan artisans and a valuable investment for the buyer. Be careful though - some wildlife products cannot be transported through customs without special permits. Visitors are advised to mail these souvenirs home to avoid confusion at the border.
