Tlingit people - Tlingit (English spelling)

Japanese: トリンギット族 - トリンギットぞく(英語表記)Tlingit
Tlingit people - Tlingit (English spelling)
A Native American tribe living on the southeastern coast of Alaska. Their language belongs to the Na-Dene language family. They hunt seals, dolphins, and otters, and collect shellfish and roots. They excel at making canoes, carving, stone tools, copper tools, blankets, baskets, and other crafts, and their elaborate totem poles are a symbol of their craftsmanship. Their society is divided into four clans and 14 territorial groups, and the basic unit is a politically independent matrilineage, each with its own chief. Since the mid-19th century, the commercial development of Alaska has led to a marked stratification and disparity between the rich and the poor. The population has been in steady decline, but this trend has now been halted.

Japanese:
アラスカ南東部の海岸地帯に居住するアメリカインディアンの一民族。言語はナデネ語族に属する。アザラシ,イルカ,カワウソなどの狩猟や貝類,草木の根などの採集を営む。カヌー,彫刻,石器や銅器,毛布,籠などの製作に秀で,精巧なトーテムポールはそれら技芸の表徴といえる。社会は4氏族,14地縁集団に分れており,基本単位は政治的に独立し,それぞれの首長を有する母系リニージである。 19世紀中頃以降,アラスカの商業的発展の影響を受け,階層化,貧富差が顕著となった。人口は減少の一途をたどったが,現在ではその減少傾向は食止められている。
