Being And Place Among The Tlingit by Lee Thornton
An ethnographic study that examines how Tlingit people construct personhood and social belonging through relationships with places, kin, language, ritual, and history. Drawing on fieldwork, oral histories, and linguistic analysis, it argues that identity and landscape are mutually constitutive — places carry social memory and moral claims while social relations shape how places are inhabited and named. The book also traces the effects of colonialism and modern change, showing how Tlingit practices adapt while sustaining enduring connections to ancestral territories.
