Biographical/Historical Note Please note that items in this collection are identified as being in the Tinneh language, an outdated word for the Alaskan Athabaskan language. In finding aids for previously processed collections, JARC maintains the word choices used by materials’ creators to contextualize those materials but recognizes that decision can still cause hurt to the communities affected by that language. In all modern documentation (newly processed collections, exhibits, communications, et cetera), JARC makes every effort to use the language preferred by the communities being described. If your community, tribe, or nation is being improperly named, we deeply apologize and ask you to please reach out to JARC. We thank you for your time and assistance.
