More than 20 years ago, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian Elders met for a historic gathering to talk about traditional tribal values. As we look back on their legacy, Tlingit & Haida staff today talk about how they uphold those tribal values in their everyday life, showing respect, holding each other up and passing on their knowledge to the next generation. | Tlingit & Haida

Gunalchéesh, Háw’aa to the kids from the Tlingit Culture, Language and Literacy dance group for performing at our Native American Heritage Month celebration. It was so wonderful to watch the children dressed in their regalia, singing in the Tlingit language. In this video, the kids are singing the Language Warrior's Chant. We’re also grateful to Wooshkindeinda.aat Lily Hope for reading her book “Celebration,” which tells the story of a young girl’s trip to Juneau for the biennial dance festival.
