Shakes (Tlingit leaders)

Chief Shakes is a distinguished Tlingit leadership title passed down through generations among groups of native people from Northwestern North America.

A construction called the Chief Shakes Tribal House is a registered site per the Federal US National Park Service (NPS) which regularly features on websites advertising tourist experiences in the relevant region of Alaska. Purportedly the modern construction is a reconstruction established in 1940 of an earlier structure made by the Tlingit Indigenous Americans themselves and seated members of the royal line.
