Description

In 1881; two German geographers were on their way to the continental United States from the Bering Sea Coast when they came upon a Native population in southeast Alaska that had formed a society far more complex than those of most other North American tribes. Upon return to Germany; Aurel Krause published "The Tlingit Indians." In it were rich; detailed descriptions of the Tlingit kinship system; societal structure; village and family life; customs and traditions; subsistence living; arts and crafts; mythology and shamanism; a language glossary; and an extensive bibliography. Aurel's brother; Arthur; sketched many of the illustrations. This enduring comprehensive resource offers the contemporary reader a glimpse into the history and traditions of an important Northwest Coast culture.
