Yakutat Tlingit Tribe is a federally recognized Tlingit Alaska Native tribal entity .[1] [2] Central Council of the Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes , the Douglas Indian Association, Skagway Village, the Organized Village of Kake, the Sitka Tribe of Alaska , and the Wrangell Cooperative Association.
The Yakutat Tlingit Tribe is headquartered in the borough of Yakutat . As of 2005, the tribe had 385 enrolled citizens.[3] Tlingit word "Yaakwdáat", which means "where canoes rest". The Yakutat Tlingit maintain aspects of traditional Tlingit culture with influences from the Eyak people.[4]
Culture [ edit ]
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan displays some Yakutat Tlingit musical instruments, including a guitar[5] [6] [7] [8]
History [ edit ]
The Yakutat Tlingit have historically occupied the southern portion of what is now the Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve near Icy Bay and Disenchantment Bay , the community of Yakutat, and the Malaspina Glacier and Forelands. The National Park Service has conducted ethnographic research detailing Yakutat Tlingit connections to Wrangell–St. Elias.[9]
In the 21st century, the remains of eight Native American bodies have been repatriated to Kaguyak Village; six from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and one each from Princeton University and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology . Two remains and 50 funerary objects of interest to the Yakutat Tlingit Tribe have not been repatriated; the two remains are held by the U.S. Department of Agriculture .[10]
In 2023, the AgWest Farm Credit Services bank based in Spokane, Washington, sued the Alaska Native corporation based in Yakutat, Yak-Tat Kwaan Inc., seeking the repayment of $13.3 million in loans. The lawsuit has caused concerns in the tribe over the loss of their traditional lands.[11]
