The mainland #Tlingit of Alaska occupy a range of mountains from 50 to 100 miles inland

In the mid 1800s Americans came into #Tlingit country for gold, and in the process sought to occupy and control the land and its people

#Tlingit activist and ANS leader Elizabeth Peratrovich made the plea for justice and equality regardless of race to the territorial legislature on February 8, 1945 that prompted the signing of an anti-discrimination bill.

#Tlingit and #Haida people have been and continue to be very active in both community and clan politics and tribal governments as well as in state and city issues

#Tlingit Clans and Clan Houses have identifying crests; a clan is equally proud whether its crest is a killer whale or a snail. There are no recognized superior species

#Tlingit communities are located from just south of Ketchikan and are scattered northward across islands and mainland as far as the Icy Bay area

By the turn of the century, the #Tlingit people were threatened politically, territorially, culturally, and socially

The most distinctive form of #Tlingit ceremonial dress prior to Americanization and still the most admired is the Chilkat robe

The southern end of the Alaska coastline, a region known as Southeast Alaska, is home to the primary #Tlingit (pronounced "klingit") communities

#Tlingit individuals did not receive title to lands as a result of ANCSA. Instead, lands claimed by southeast Natives under this act were placed under the control of the ANCSA-established regional corporation, Sealaska, and the ANCSA-established village corporations

The Native Allotment Act of 1906 did result in some #Tlingit lands being placed in the hands of individual #Tlingits. This law provided for conveyance of 160 acres to adult Natives as long as no tract of ground contained mineral deposits

The name #Tlingit essentially means human beings. The word was originally used simply to distinguish a human being from an animal, since #Tlingits believed that there was little difference between humans and animals

#Tlingit legends speak of migrations into the area from several possible directions, either from the north as a possible result of the Bering Sea land bridge, or from the southwest, after a maritime journey from the Polynesian islands across the Pacific

The traditional diet of the #Tlingit people relies heavily on the sea. Fish, seal, seaweed, clams, cockles, gum boots (chitons—a shell fish), herring, eggs and salmon eggs, berries, and venison make up the primary foods of most #Tlingit people.
