This wonderful collection from the University of Alaska pays tribute to the Sitka Tribe of Alaska, the federally recognized government for more than 4,000 tribal citizens primarily of Tlingit, Haida, Aleut, and Tsimpsian Heritage in the Sheet'-Ka area. The site brings together hundreds of items from the Sitka Historical Museum, that work to tell the story of the tribe through photographs, artifacts, and archives related to their history. On the site visitors can learn about Tlingit Paddling Commands, read Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in Tlingit, and listen to the Pledge of Allegiance in Tlingit. Visitors can search through all of the items here at their leisure or they can search via one of the topical headings. Additionally, users can sign up to receive updates for this collection via email or RSS. The site will be of particular interest to historians, scholars of American Indian matters, and those with a general interest in Alaska.
