"Aak'w Tribe"
This panel depicts the existence and ownership of the Auk’w Tlingit who possessed a very sophisticated sense of belonging to a family group and a strong sense of place.  This society evolved as a result of a very long history of communal organization north of Juneau, Alaska. The top portion of the panel pictures the mountain behind Aak’w Lake, the presence of the wolf in the center and the dog salmon, in the lower corners, that return to the lake every year to spawn and die. The Tlingit are part of two distinct family groups - the Eagle and the Raven.  The primary clans of the Aak’w Tribe are the “Woosh-kee-taan” (Eagle/Shark) and “Tl’ei-neidi” (Raven/Dog Salmon).  The tribe moved in large numbers from their nearby villages to Juneau (“Tsenta’ka Heeni”) after gold was discovered in 1880.  Prior to that the main Aak’w village was in Aak’w Bay with smaller living sites in the surrounding vicinity. There was a huge fort on the north shore near the head of Aak’w Bay called “Aak’w Nu.” By Wanda Culp. The original 22”x18” conte crayon drawing is on black paper.  Limited Edition prints are available in sizes 8-½”x11”, $65.00; 11”x14”, $110.00; and 22”x16-1/2”, $151.00. (#1319)
