| Notes | The Auk Indians, like other southeast Alaska groups, traveled to fishing camps during the summer months. This photograph of an Auk fishing camp on the beach shows filleted halibut drying in front of the leftmost tent, and a mixture of native-made and commercially purchased items scattered around the campsite. In front of the rightmost tent, a seated woman prepares food near a large pot while a man and child stand nearby. The Auk are a coastal Tlingit people.
