T. (George Thornton) Emmons, George T. 17028719 The Whale House of the Chilkat Produced by Chris Curnow, Joseph Cooper and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Whale House of the Chilkat" by George Thornton Emmons is an anthropological paper written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work examines the cultural and architectural significance of the Whale House, a prominent structure among the Tlingit people of Southeastern Alaska. Emmons draws on over twenty-five years of personal experience and interactions with the Tlingit to document their communal life, traditions, and the historical shifts that have altered their way of living. In the book, Emmons provides a detailed account of the Whale House, including its architecture, the stories behind its decorative carvings, and its role within the Tlingit community. He narrates the decline of communal life due to external influences such as colonization and modernization, which led to the loss of traditional practices and structures. The work features descriptions of various artifacts, intricate carvings depicting Tlingit myths and tales, and the significance of the Whale House as a cultural landmark. Emmons' writing serves as a preservation document for Tlingit heritage, highlighting the changes that have occurred and the stories that risk being forgotten.
