Tlingit Language Dictionary
by Lance Twitchell - Paperback book $19.99 - Download $12.88
Excerpt: "Based on previous works, this dictionary compiles nouns,
common phrases, and other parts of speech. A quality reference item for
a student of the Lingít language, commonly known as Tlingit. The
Tlingit are indigenous to North America, and our territory ranges across
Southeast Alaska and Western Canada. Gunalchéesh."
Excerpt: "Language has a profound influence on
culture and world view, and it is a tragedy of our age that Native American
languages are in peril. Tlingit is no exception. Like other Native languages,
Tlingit was traditionally an oral language, but it is one that will not
survive unless it becomes a written language which is read."

Herb Hope: The Kiks.ádi Survival March
http://www.alaskool.org/projects/history/Hope/Hope_Index.htm
At the 1987 ANB convention in Sitka, the 75th anniversary of the ANB,
the Kiks.ádi clan hosted a luncheon. One of the Kiks. ádi
elders told
the account of the Battle of Sitka between the Russians and the Tlingit,
which happened at the beginning of the 19th century. After the lunch,
Herb was livid. He felt that the person telling the story had told
a
whitewashed, missionary version. He was determined to document the
Tlingit warrior version of the story.
So began the Kiks. ádi Survival March Project, organized by
Herb and
carried out with the assistance of Fred Hope. I provided logistical
and
research support to my uncles from time to time. In 1989, we filmed
high
quality footage of Herb explaining his reasons for undertaking the
project.

Will the Time Ever Come? A Tlingit Source Book
Alaska Native Knowledge Network 2000
"The Book has three parts, Tlingit History and Traditions,
Contemporary Issues & Projects, and an Appendix taking the formidable
Dr. Frederica de Laguna to task for not publishing the versions of clan
histories Lt. George Emmons variously attempted for his comprehensive
Tlingit ethnography, which she arranged to make available to the conference.
Part 1 includes an annotated bibliography by Sergei Kan, Russian-born
anthropologist, an overview of clan migrations by Andrew Hope, distributions
of people, clans, and houses at Angoon (Burnt fort) by Harold Jacobs,
and a person quest for the actual route of the 1804 Kiks.ádi Survival
March escaping the Russian counterattack to retake Sitka.
Part II begins with an overview of the sounds of the Tlingit language
by Richard Dauenhauer, Alaska poet laureate and comparative mythologist;
considerations for an atlas of Tlingit place names and resources by
Thomas Thornton, contemporary subsistence by Steve Langdon, and a glimpse
at current naming practices by Ellen Hope Hays.
The Appendix includes letters to and from de Laguna, and of greatest
significance, a list of Tlingit Tribes, Clans & Clan Houses filling
12 pages."

Shee Atiká Incorporated commissioned Peter Metcalfe to write and
produce a history of the corporation, Earning a Place in History:
Shee Atiká, the Sitka Native Claims Corporation, published
in 1999. During his research for the book, Mr. Metcalfe discovered that
Joyce Walton Shales of Juneau had written a doctoral dissertation based
on the life of her grandfather, Rudolph Walton, one of the first graduates
of the Sitka Industrial Training School, later renamed after its founder
Sheldon Jackson. The following is a brief account, drawn from Dr. Shales
dissertation, of the events leading up to a lawsuit brought by Walton
and other Sitka Natives, Davis v. Sitka School Board. Their cause was
just, but they lost the lawsuit. It was one of the many set-backs for
Alaska Natives that led to the formation of the Alaska Native Brotherhood
and Sisterhood.
