Tlingit Art

 

Tlingit art is the traditional art form of the Tlingit people, an Indigenous group from the Pacific Northwest Coast of North America. This art is characterized by its intricate designs, often featuring depictions of animals, nature, and clan crests. Tlingit artists are known for their skill in carving, weaving, and creating ceremonial regalia. Wood, stone, and textiles are common mediums used in Tlingit art. Potlatch ceremonies, which involve the exchange of gifts and the display of art and regalia, play a significant role in Tlingit culture and artistry.
