Tlingit

Their name for themselves is Lingít, meaning "people." The tribe once controlled all the land that extends more than 500 miles from Yakutat Bay to the British Columbia border south of present day Ketchikan. Scientists believe the natives came to this continent from Asia many thousands of years ago, entering Alaska over a land mass that is now cover by the Bering Strait. The Tlingit were a matrilineal society who developed a complex hunter-gatherer culture in the temperate rainforest of the southeast Alaska coast. They built large houses using beams and wooden planks. They had a hierarchical society, that included slaves, and they performed the potlatch ceremony, in which wealth was ostentatiously given away. They also fashioned totem poles. In war the Tlingits used wooden slat armor and wore masks designed to terrorize their enemies. The Tlingit fought the Russians on many occasions, and sacked their greatest fort on Baraxou Island. Today, the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe is a federally recognized Indian tribe located in Yakutat, Alaska with over 450 tribal members.

A find after peace love pi and Back Country Horseman left the area. Yes, I found a cache by myself, all alone - had to wait for store employees to leave the area, then found it - Best Wishes, DustyRiver / Terry

Back Country Horsemen and I were the only two at the event after 6 p.m., so we left to quickly nab this one. TFTC! All is well with this cache.
