Timeline Time Immemorial Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska The Haida Nation and the Tlingit Nation have existed as two separate and distinct people since time immemorial. Aani, known as Southeast Alaska, is their ancestral home. These Tribal Nations take great pride in their ability to cultivate and harvest the resources of the land and sea in a responsible manner. Always recognizing the value of and showing reverence and respect for all life of the land and sea. Through good stewardship, hard work, wise laws, and respect they strove to maintain balance in their community. As issues have impacted them they made a transition to a written, formal process to engage in foreign government relationships. The Tlingit Nation and the Haida Nation united with foresight, courage, and determination to fight for their rights and preserve their relationship with the land, water, and resources. As a result of those who fought the battle, the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska was formed to serve the interests of the Tlingit and Haida people for generations to come. 1935 Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska Founded in 1935, Central Council of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska (Central Council) is a tribal government representing more than 30,000 Tlingit and Haida Indians worldwide.
