SHI’s goals are to promote cultural diversity and cross-cultural understanding through public services and events. SHI also conducts social scientific and public policy research and advocacy that promotes Alaska Native arts, cultures, history, and education statewide. The institute is governed by a Board of Trustees and guided by a Council of Traditional Scholars, a Native Artist Committee and a Southeast Regional Language Committee. Its mission is to perpetuate and enhance Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska. SHI operates from the Walter Soboleff Building, an education and research facility in Juneau opened by the institute in 2015. 4 // 2016 annual report LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT I am eternally grateful for and frankly in awe of the material culture our ancestors left to us. Nothing on Earth compares to the great Northwest Coast totem poles and clan houses that populate Haa Aaní—Our Land—or to the intricate Chilkat and Ravenstail woven robes that can take years to complete. One could spend a lifetime mastering the rules governing the formline designs that make the material culture of the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian so unique. We have a dream to make Juneau the Northwest Coast art capital of the world and to designate our ancestors’ legacy as a national treasure. Sealaska Heritage is committed to maintaining the integrity of Northwest Coast art and operates programs SHI President Rosita Kaaháni Worl. to teach formline, carving, weaving, and other practices. In 2016, we signed a landmark agreement with the Institute of American Indian Arts and the University of Alaska Southeast to provide expanded Northwest Coast art programs and opportunities for Alaska students. SHI also works with schools to incorporate Native art, 52,000 cultures and languages into classrooms, as our studies have TOTAL PEOPLE shown it helps Native students academically. This year, SERVED IN 2016 the Juneau schools superintendent reported the highest graduation rates ever, and he gave special recognition to Alaska Native students at Thunder Mountain High School who graduated at a rate of almost 100 percent. letter from the president // 5 As part of that effort, we continually produce curricula, books, and other materials for use by students. In 2016, we published the first of a series of culturally-based children’s books through our Baby Raven Reads program. SHI also wrapped a three-year program that paired Tlingit language learners with fluent mentors in an effort to revitalize the language and unveiled its first Tlingit language apps plus a podcast. Not very long ago, we were worried our languages would not survive. But we are heartened today to once again and at long last hear our languages spoken by young people. In 2016, we also sponsored our biennial Celebration, a major dance-and-culture festival organized by SHI and attended by thousands of people. And, we established an endowment to fund our programs for future generations. The endowment is a manifestation of our cultural value Haa Shuká, through which we honor past, present, and future generations. Our ancestors’ legacy lives on today. What an honor it is to claim that legacy, to help pass it on to present and future generations, and to share it with the world. Rosita Kaaháni Worl President 6 // 2016 annual report CELEBRATION Sealaska Heritage sponsors a major, biennial festival to celebrate the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian cultures of Southeast Alaska.

The following thesis discusses the way in which the curators of the Arts of the Raven exhibit constructed the Northwest Coast “Indian-Master” artist as a strategy that figured into a larger, shifting cultural field. The intention of the exhibit organizers was to contribute to the shift from ethnology to art. While this shift can be dated to the turn of the century, this thesis deals primarily with the period from 1958-1967, a decade described by the preeminent First Nations’ political leader, George Manuel, as the time of “the rediscovery of the Indian”.

  • Abstract Approved: Ruth E.Gates
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Sharol Lind Otness for the degree of Master of Science in Clothing, Textiles, and Related Arts presented on August 10, 1979 Title: The Tlingit Button Blanket Abstract approved: Ruth E.Gates TheTlingit Button Blanket was developed on the Northwest Coast of North America in the early 19th century as a result of the introduc- tion of foreign materials brought by European explorers and traders in the late 18th century. The-Tlingit Indians substituted trade items for indigenous materials and integrated the resulting blanket into their society as a ceremonial robe. The purpose of this study was twofold. One purpose was to examine historic (pre-1930) and contemporary (post-1930) Button Blankets for form, materials used, and methods of construction. Comparisions were made as to similarities and differences between the two periods. It was concluded that the Tlingit Button Blanket as a whole has maintained its traditional character over time, even though the materials and methods used for construction have changed. The second purpose of this study was to determine if similarities exist between contemporary usage of the Button Blanket and its historic uses. It was found that the,Tlingit Button Blanket is still utilized in its original context, basically associated with socio-religious rites, but usage has diversified and become more secularized.

The Presbyterians, who began their work among the Tlingit of southeastern Alaska in the 1870s, were particularly concerned with the introduction of "appropriate" gender roles. Although participating in the roles and activities defined by the Presbyterians as "women's work", Tlingit women incorporated Presbyterian forms of practice into their own cultural frames of reference.
