The Tlingit are not Eskimos; they are an Indigenous people of the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America, primarily located in southeastern Alaska and parts of Canada. They have their own distinct culture, language, and traditions, which differ from those of the Inuit, who are often referred to as Eskimos. While both groups are Indigenous to their respective regions, they have unique heritages and ways of life.
The Southeast Coastal Indians (Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian). The Athabascans (Cree). The Aleuts. The Eskimos (Inupiat and Yup'ik).
There are some 20 native tribes and cultures in Alaska, mostly originating (long ago) from Asia. Most prominent are the Inupiaq, Yupik, Aleut, Eyak, Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian. In Alaska, describing them as "Eskimos" is politically correct. The Canadian and Greenland Eskimos usually insist on being called "Inuit".
