In cooperation with the Sealaska Heritage Institute
The Übersee-Museum presents the fascinating culture of the Tlingit from South East Alaska. The focus is on the Bremen Tlingit collection, one of the oldest in the museum, which was originally intended to document a culture that was thought to be dying out. Today, however, the Tlingit culture is experiencing a new heyday. The exhibition provides an insight into the traditions of the Tlingit. Highlights of the collection are on display, explained by the Tlingit in audio and film stations, as well as the staging of a clan house and original diaries and letters from the collectors.
In close cooperation with Tlingit representatives and the Sealaska Heritage Institute, a unique picture of the cultural heritage of this community is being created. The Tlingit objects carry the spirits of the ancestors and connect the living with their ancestors. Experience the power of this living culture!
