Tlingit: Their Art and Culture: When you visit southeast Alaska you encounter the Tlingit Indians and their very rich lands, diversified culture and wondrous art forms. You can visit from cruise ships, from the Alaska Ferry system, from private boats, from the air or by following the highway systems through Hyder, Skagway or Haines.

The richness of the culture flows from the incredible diversity and abundance of the surrounding seas: its fish, whales and sea life, the prolific clam beaches, and incredible wealth from the spawning fish that feed the bears, eagles and nutrify the dense coniferous forests. The ease with which the natives could extract a good living provided much extra time to devote to developing an extraordinarily rich culture and a prolific art, as well as the warring and slave trading that set the northwest coast peoples apart from other more food-deprived North American native peoples.

This book will give you a glimpse into the richness of their land and art and afford you some understanding how the Tlingit evolved as part of this productive land.
