Fairbanks is too much out of the way.
Went to Native Heritage Center and Anchorage Museum.
The Center had some nice displays how the native used to live here, and sod houses build with no steel fasteners are impressive, but coming from construction, I had hard time to believe they cut presented 36" dia logs with tools made from bones. Expensive admission to see lot of stands with "Native souvenirs", often "Made in China". Sorry, but I am too realistic for this stuff.
Museum had a bonus of "FRANKLIN EXPEDITION" display. Lot of things to play with, especially if you have children with you (we did not).
So after spending about $200 on souvenirs, I am driving to Tram and Homer tomorrow.
