Thousands of visitors come to Alaska and purchase gifts and souvenirs to take home with them every day. Caribou Creek offers beautiful ivory jewelry, carvings, knives, and other items for sale, but many visitors are confused when they hear the word "ivory." 

Alaska holds the last legal forms of ivory in the world: fossilized woolly mammoth and walrus. We do not carry elephant, hippopotamus, rhino, whale, or other forms of ivory, which are illegal. We only sell ivory that has been harvested and collected never hunted. Our mammoth and walrus ivory comes with certification paperwork and is completely worry free.
