Tlingit
Tlingit (även stavat: Tlinkit) är ett folk i sydöstra Alaska (USA) samt British Columbia och Yukon i Kanada. Majoriteten (cirka 15 000) lever i Alaska, medan enbart 1 500 finns i Kanada.[1] Deras språk heter också tlingit, och tillhör språkfamiljen na-dene.
Tlingiternas ekonomi är baserad på fiske, där lax utgör stapelfödan.[1]

Katlian Raven Hat.jpg
Photograph of the raven hat/helmet that was worn by the Tlingit chief K'alyaan (sometimes spelled as Katlian) in the Battle of Sitka. It is currently housed in the Sheldon Jackson Museum in Sitka, Alaska. The hat was first brought to the museum in 1905 following a potlatch in 1904 by a man who was also named K'alyaan. This K'alyaan handed the helmet to Gov. John G. Brady while saying that doing this was a symbol of "giving up the ol time". Photograph provided by Sitka National Historical Park.
