OK, here goes: The Tlingit lived along Alaska’s southern coast of from Mount St. Elias to the Portland Canal. Because the area was comprised primarily of inlets and fiords, the villages of the Tlingit could be only be reached by sea travel. The damp climate of the area encouraged the growth of thick forests of spruce, fir and other tree species that provided the Tlingit with sufficient quantities of wood from which they crafted their homes, clothing, and utensils. Since the Tlingit’s favorite woods, red and yellow cedar, were not native to the area, they traded firs for it.
Shelter for the Tlingit were large houses framed with poles and covered with hand-split planks of spruce or cedar. These dwellings were constructed in rows along the beaches near salmon streams. The center post of each home was carved with figures unique to the clan to which the residents belonged. The Northern Tlingit belonged to the Eagle Clan, to the Southern Tlingit the Wolf Clan. Both Tlingit groups carved posts to honor their dead. These posts were placed in front of their homes. Tlingit tribes later traded with skilled Haida carvers who fashioned large cedar poles, known as totems, for them. Astonishingly, many of these poles can still be found in the area today.
Fish were the primary source of food for the Tlingit. Large numbers of halibut, salmon, herring and candlefish were caught and eaten fresh or dried and stored for later use. The Tlingit also hunted sea mammals such as seals, sea lions and sea otters for use as food and clothing materials. In the forests near their homes, they hunted deer, bear, mountain goats and other small mammals. Copper and sea otter pelts were traded with other tribes for shells and slaves. Among Northwest Coast groups, members of the tribes were ranked in importance according to their family lines. Members of tribes from families considered low-class were often exchanged for material possessions.
Clothing for the Tlingit reflected the temperate climate in which they lived. The men wore little or no clothing, although the men in the northern areas wore leggings and moccasins made of seal or deerskins. The women wore skirts of woven cedar bark. Both men and women wore hats resembling baskets. Often these hats were trimmed with sea otter fur. What clothing the Tlingit did wear was oiled in order to make it waterproof.
The Tlingit fashioned dugout canoes from logs of Sitka spruce. They also traded for the red cedar canoes constructed by the Haida.
The Tlingit were a deeply religious group. Shamans cured the sick and accompanied war parties. The Tlingit as a way of displaying their wealth and social position held large parties, known as potlatches.
In the 1700s, the Tlingit fought fur trappers from Russia who had established a trading post in the region. The Russians often kidnapped Tlingit women and children. The hostages were returned in exchange for Tlingit furs. Many Tlingit died in the early 1800s during a smallpox epidemic.
When the United States purchased the Alaska Territory from Russia in 1867, it began leasing the fishing rights on the rivers and streams to commercial canneries and fishing companies. These companies in turn prohibited the Tlingit from fishing their ancestral waters.
Today the descendants of the Tlingit still live along the coast of Alaska.
