The Tlingit Indians

In 1881, two German geographers encountered a sophisticated Native society in southeast Alaska, leading Aurel Krause to publish a detailed account of the Tlingit Indians. The book explores various aspects of Tlingit life, including kinship systems, societal structures, customs, subsistence practices, arts, mythology, and shamanism. Accompanied by illustrations from his brother Arthur, this work serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history and traditions of the Tlingit culture, providing contemporary readers with rich insights into an important Northwest Coast heritage.
