The notion of place consists of three dimensions - space, time, and experience - which are culturally and environmentally structured. Thomas Thornton examines each in detail to show how individual and collective Tlingit notions of place, being, and identity are formed. As he observes, despite cultural and environmental changes over time, particularly in the post-contact era since the late eighteenth century, Tlingits continue to bind themselves and their culture to places and landscapes in distinctive ways."--Jacket.Culture, place, and nature.Tlingit IndiansSocial life and customsNames, GeographicalSocial aspectsAlaskaCultural propertyAlaskaGeographical perceptionAlaskaAlaskaSocial life and customsTlingit IndiansSocial life and customs.Names, GeographicalSocial aspectsCultural propertyGeographical perception305.897/270798Thornton Thomas F1506794Sealaska Heritage Institute.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778922603321Being and place among the Tlingit3737171UNINA
