The Tlingit are an Alaska Native people whose aboriginal homelands stretched along the Pacific coast for more than 400 miles. The Tlingit were 18 distinct and autonomous groups. Each group felt that it was distinct from the others and had its own unique origins and ancestry. Like other Northwest Coast First Nations, Tlingit society was traditionally characterized by social stratification, that is, there was a hierarchy of social classes.

When the first American explorers and fur traders began to move out onto the Northern Plains following the Corps of Discovery (i.e. Lewis and Clark) in the early nineteenth century, they encountered the tribe which they came to call the Crows hunting in Montana and Wyoming. At this time, the Crows were horse-mounted buffalo hunters with a good understanding of the ecology of the country.
