Description: A modern reconstruction of a battle ready Katlian, leader of the Kiksadi clan and of the Tlingit resistance to the Russians in the Battle of Sitka. In addition to the Tlingit armor and dagger, Katlian wears his famous raven war helmet and he holds a Russian blacksmith's hammer that he acquired when storming the fortress of St. Archangel Michael in 1802. The hammer became his favorite weapon afterwards. This reconstruction is from the collection of Sitka National Historical Park.
