Summary/Abstract: The author presents the history of the Alaskan Tlingit community in connection with his own novel set in Alaska, entitled Gyilkosság Alaszkában: Sherlock Holmes a tlingitek földjén (Death in Alaska: Sherlock Holmes on the Land of the Tlingit). As a novelist, the author was interested in the present-day situation of the Tlingit people, in connection with environmental and ownership issues, and also their relationship to Tlingit traditions.
