Tlingit and Haida cultures are distinct; accurate reporting should name the relevant people, community, clan, and language rather than generalize them.

The constitution places culture, history, language, traditions, customary knowledge, and ancestral wisdom among government priorities.

Traditional foods, relationships with land and water, and access to hunting, fishing, and gathering are contemporary sovereignty and wellbeing issues.
