Paul Jackson, a cultural leader of the Tlingit Tribe of Alaska, died on Monday. He was 75.
Jackson was a member of the Sockeye Clan. He was known as a keeper of Tlingit traditions and passed them on to his family and others.
"He taught me language, to not be timid and to speak when called upon," his nephew Paul Marks told The Juneau Empire. "We walked together in many ways."
Jackson, a father of eight, served as culture consultant to the Sealaska Corp., University of Alaska Southeast and the Juneau School District.
