Warships and Armor; The Tlingit People

Celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Frisco Native American Museum by…..

joining Leandra Lewis as she shares the extraordinary culture and life of the Tlingit people.

The Tlingit are an indigenous tribe of the Pacific Northwest coast of North America, primarily in British Columbia and Alaska. They have a colorful history and culture that dates back thousands of years!

While it is known they are master wood workers that make stunning totem poles, did you know they also constructed large houses and incredible art as well? Perhaps most impressive are the war canoes, wooden armor, and claim they traded with the Chinese before they ever met Europeans.

As Leandra lived in Sitka, Alaska and worked with several Tlingit tribal members, she brings her experience to the Frisco Native American Museum to share with you! You’ll not want to miss this opportunity to see some beautiful examples of Tlingit art and hear Leandra share stories of these phenomenal people.

Event is FREE with museum admission
