Tlingit culture is a matrilineal society with a rich tradition of art, oratory, and spirituality, organized around two moieties (Raven and Eagle-Wolf), each containing numerous clans. Their culture is deeply connected to the sea and forests of the Pacific Northwest, with a strong emphasis on family, kinship, and giving. Key cultural practices include the potlatch (or ku.éex'), which is a ceremonial feast, and the creation of intricate art like totem poles and bentwood boxes, often depicting clan crests.
