The Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian of Southeast Alaska hold ceremonies
to honor their ancestors. They believe their ancestors return to
participate in ceremonies when the names of the deceased are called and
when gifts are offered. Today, this practice also is conducted in
secular activities such as the biennial Celebration. During Celebration 2008, the following individuals and families offered donations in honor of their deceased
family members and loved ones:
