Description: Captioned "Kasa-an"; Old Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska, a Haida village abandoned about 1902 when the people relocated to "New Kasaan" (the current city of Kasaan, Alaska) to take jobs in a cannery. The absence of boats and people suggests this photo was taken after the population moved out.
