Auke
The Auke are a subgroup of the Tlingit, an Alaskan Native people, whose autonym Aakʼw Ḵwáan means "Small Lake People." The Auke lived along the northwestern coast of North America, in the area that is now the Alexander Archipelago and adjoining mainland of the Alaska Panhandle around Juneau.
The Auke had a village on Auke Bay just east of Point Louisa, about 13 miles northwest of Juneau. There were seasonal festivals associated with the harvest of herring at spawning season.
Some Auke Tlingit are enrolled in the Douglas Indian Association, a federally recognized tribe headquartered in Juneau.
