First sentence: At the end of the 18th century, when regular contacts began with Europeans, the Tlingit Indians occupied a strip of coast in southeastern Alaska from Portland Canal (55 north latitude) in the south to Yakutat Bay (60 north latitude) in the north, including the rocky islands lying offshore-the Alexander Archipelago.
