	A NON-PROFIT Organization comprised of members from the Tlingit (pronounced 'Clink'it') Tribe, an indigenous people of Southeast Alaska. Translated to english, "Leeng'it Kust'i" means "Tlingit Way of Life", and was formed with the sole purpose to revive, promote, and increase the public awareness of Tlingit customs and history. Our mission is to accomplish this goal through the traditional songs, dances, and stories of our people. In combination with our undeniable stage presence, we Alaskan Dancers (inclusive of our descendants and adoptees), achieve this with our elaborate performance and strong community involvement.
