The Alutiiq museum in Anchorage aims to preserve the heritage of these native people. At the time of the opening of the museum in 2006, only 35 people remain in the world that speak the Alutiiq language, and an effort is underway to try to preserve this language.

The interactive that was developed for the museum comprises several subheadings:

Users select the Tsunami Map interactive from the Tsunami interactive main menu.	Users can scroll the map of satellite images horizontally and vertically using the smaller map in the upper-left corner.
Users can use the scroll bar to cross-fade between pre- and post-tsunami images.	Post-tsunami, the coastline has moved inland.

Tsunami Map: The story of the 1960 Tsunami, that hit the village hard : a pre-and post-Tsunami image have been overlaid, so that visitors may fade between the site of the village before and after the Tsunami hit.

Images of the Tsunami: we acquired, through the kind cooperation of the producers, some footage of the Tsunami; this area allows visitors to see how a Tsunami is formed, how it affected the Alutiiq people, and they can also elect to see the entire movie.

Users can scroll the map of the Afognak Village and select locations from the map.

Users can view images of selected locations.

The Village: an overall picture of the old village allows visitors to select a detailed area from where they can select to see information and individual images of houses that used to stand there.
