Tlingit

The Tlingit are a Native American group from the Pacific Northwest. They live in the United States (in the state of Alaska) and in Canada (British Columbia and Yukon). They speak the Tlingit language. In their language, Tlingit means "people of the tides."
The Tlingit get their food through hunting, gathering, and fishing. They are a matrilineal society. That means property is passed down from a mother to her children.
The Tlingit practiced slavery extensively until it was outlawed by the United States.
Territory.
The Tlingit organized themselves into tribes, which they called "Ḵwáan".
Culture.
The Tlingit have a very rich culture. They are famous for their totem poles. They incorporate art in every part of their lives. Their art has deep spiritual meaning.
Philosophy and religion.
The Tlingit didn't write down their beliefs, but they do have a very complex philosophy on how they view the world.
They were animists. Their shamans did many things, such as curing diseases, helping hunters, and protecting people from evil.
In the 1880s, many Tlingit began to convert to Orthodox Christianity, which was introduced by the Russians. They clung to the Orthodox religion as Americans and Canadians came onto their land.
Today, young Tlingit are turning back to their traditional beliefs in order to regain a sense of identity as Tlingit.
Language.
The Tlingit have their own language, the Tlingit language. Their language has a very complex grammar and uses sounds that almost no other languages use.
However, most of them now speak English.
Housing.
The Tlingit made their houses from cedar wood.
Food.
The Tlingit harvest food from the sea.
They also enjoy eating berries and meat from land animals.
