The 14 divisions of the Tlingit may reflect a former era when they were entirely independent tribes. Important among the divisions are the Chilkat the Yakutat the Stikine the Sitka the Auk and the Huna. In 1741 when visited by Aleksei Chirikov and Vitus Bering the Tlingit lived in SE Alaska along the coast and on the islands around Sitka S to Prince of Wales Island and N to the Copper River.
