Lingit is the Native word for people and the "I" in Tlingit is silent, like its not even there. Its pronounced "KLIN-kit." Their reserves are in Southern Alaska, British Columbia and the Yukon in Canada. Alaskan Tlingits and and tlingits from the U.S dont have a reservation but are from "Native Villages" instead. "but the Tlingits belong to a coalition called the Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska which handles tribal government on behalf of several Native villages. Individual Tlingit villages also have local councils that have economic control over their village resources."
The website where i got my information has alot of good links to go to and ill post later. Also i am Tlingit, so most of my research will be about them.
