˜Tsimshian Culture and History –

As a complement to our Tsimshian language information, here is our collection of indexed links about the Tsimshian tribe and their society. Please note that Tsimshians and other American Indians are living people with a present and a future as well as a past. Tsimshian history is interesting and important, but the Tsimshian Indians are still here today, too, and we try to feature modern writers as well as traditional folklore, contemporary art as well as museum pieces, and issues and struggles of today as well as the tragedies of yesterday. Please contact us if you have a Tsimshian link to add.
