Territoires d'origine, gouvernement et présence contemporaine
Territoires historiques d'origine
Tlingit and Haida homelands include distinct but neighboring lands and waters across Southeast Alaska and the Northwest Coast, extending across contemporary international and state boundaries.
Gouvernement
A constitutionally organized Tribal government with a Tribal Assembly, elected delegates, an executive council, judiciary, and programs serving citizens and communities.
Présence contemporaine
The government is based in Juneau and represents citizens living in Alaska and elsewhere. It delivers services and advances priorities in culture, language, food security, land recovery, education, housing, economic development, justice, and citizen wellbeing.
This is the government's reported Tribal citizenship figure, not a Census race total.
The Central Council conducts federal relations as a tribal government. Representation of citizens does not erase the distinctions between Tlingit and Haida communities.
The map point is an administrative location, not a boundary for Tlingit or Haida homelands.

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.
