Excerpt from The Subsistence Lifeway of the Tlingit People: Excerpts of Oral Interviews Dick wanted to preserve the subsistence information that many elderly Tlingit people possessed. He began a series of interviews in 1978 collecting information from knowledgeable Tlingit elders throughout Southeast Alaska. The same time, Madonna Moss, a young archaeologist working for the Forest Service with a keen interest in Tlingit culture also interviewed several people. Dick Newton translated and transcribed his interviews into English. He also collected other information on subsistence foods. Madonna working with Dick took the transcripts and extracted relevant materials and compiled this manuscript.
