There are three main groups of the Tlingit Indians. They are the Yehl (raven), Goch (wolf), and the Nehadi (eagle). The Nehadi are the smallest group, and are often left out of research because of their size.
Each group has over twenty clans. In a clan, all of the issues were sorted out between the clan heads.
In each clan, there were about two villages. There were no village leaders. From there, the villages were sorted out into house groups, and then the family group, which consisted of the families that lived there. The family groups were rated based on the wealth condition of their ancestors.
The eldest male was the head of the family group. The family head with the best rate was the head of the clan.
