Our Food Is Our Tlingit Way of Life : Excerpts From Oral Interviews / Richard G. Newton and Madonna L. Moss. Haa atxxaayi haa kusteeyix sitee. Juneau, Alaska : U. S. Dept of Agriculture; Forest Service; Alaska Region, 2006-2009. 50 p : Compact disc; (4 3/4 in.) ill., ports; softcover ; 28 cm. Forest Service Alaska Region R10-MR-50 May 2009 Revision. This book is a collaboration; most of the interviews were conducted by Dick Newton in Tlingit, while Madanna Moss interviewed a number of Tlingit elders in English. Dick translated his interviews into English and transcribed them; Madonna shaped the text presented here by rearranging the various contributions according to topic area. The narrative has been adjusted by making certain grammatical and tense changes, and in some cases by deleting redundancies. Our intent, however, is to let the Tlingit cultural specialists speak for themselves, since the body of literature on the Tlingit includes much that has been written by "outsiders." Since we are fortunate to have had the Tlingit story told by Tlingit people, we hope to preserve the unique flavor of their words. You will find that the "Tlingit" way of expression is unique, and that it communicates just as effectively and perhaps more eloquently than standard English. 20110616. Tlingit Indians Food.
