Native Tribes of Western Canada
This Chilkat Indian Chief resides in
Alaska. He is part of a long tradition. On the West Coast of
Canada before the Europeans
settled in the New World, many native tribes had
complex political systems at work. Socially
there were three classes. The nobles, the commoners and
the slaves. The nobles were the most
powerful and most respected in the community. The chief is the
highest ranking citizen in
the village and his family and clan are the most important in the
village. MORE!
