The canning of fish (particularly salmon) subsequently became the city's chief economic activity. The city now has a diversified economy, with fishing (salmon, trout, cod, halibut, and snapper), fish processing, and timber as leading industries. More than a sixth of the city's population is Alaskan native or American Indian, and artifacts from these cultures can be seen in Ketchikan's Totem Heritage Center, which displays a number of 19th-century s gathered from uninhabited Tlingit and villages in the area. Nearby Saxman Totem Park and Totem Bight State Historical Park also have large collections of totem poles. totem fish
