In Alaska Native Americans are referred to as Natives. There are different tribes as you may say over the different regions of Alaska. In southeast there is Tlingit, Haida and In Metlakatla the way southern part of Alaska is Tsimshian. When you make your way up into Alaska there is Aleut in the Aleutian Chain. There is Yupik, Siberian Yup'ik, Inuit, Aleut-Esikimo. There are many different clans in Alaska which is very complex but very, very interesting. There are different Moieties that you belong to. The Raven and The Eagle. Either your a raven or a eagle. You take your mothers moieties and are raised up to respect the other. Different languages vary through out our beautiful land. By the way Alaskan Eskimos do not not live in igloos our igloos are made out of driftwood and were only used in the summertime. Native people in Canada were the ones who lived in snow igloos.
