[edit]

The clan list is incomplete mostly because I haven't been bothered to fill in the rest. Typing Tlingit names in HTML is not an easy task, nor is trying to transcribe them accurately from various sources. I'm not even completely sure of the pronunciation of some of them, nor their meanings. This is my apology for the list being unfinished. Also, many of the clans are extremely minor and may not exist anymore, which needs to be noted; this isn't an easy task because it requires interviewing a number of people and consulting various hard-to-get sources (like the CCTHITA tribal rolls). For those that are not familiar with Tlingit culture, rest assured there are about as many Eagle as there are Raven clans, and that there are a finite number of them.
