Today we reached Icy Strait Point and visited the small village of Hoonah. We learned some Tlingit history thru music and dance, and a short play based on the story of the Raven. “The Tlingit people of Southeast Alaska have two moieties (or descent groups) in their society, each of which is divided into a number of clans. Each clan has its own history, songs, and totems, and each forms a social network of extended families which functions as a political unit. The two moieties of the Tlingit people are the Raven and Eagle/Wolf.”
