In the late 19th century, a Tlingit Chief named Kowee let two prospectors to a creek that emptied into the Gastineau Channel. After a few hours of panning, the prospectors, Richard Harris and Joe Juneau found gold! That discovery changed not only their lives, but the course of history and the face of Alaska itself.
