Definition
Relating to the Chilkat people, an Indigenous Tlingit nation of the Pacific Northwest, or their distinctive traditional blankets woven with geometric designs.
Etymology
From the Tlingit people's own name for themselves, derived from their territory in what is now Alaska and British Columbia. The name likely references their location and has been adapted into English.
Kelly Says
Chilkat blankets are masterpieces of Indigenous art—each one takes months to weave and tells stories through its geometric patterns! These aren't decorations; they're cultural treasures that represent family history and wealth.
