Believe it or not—the Indfans of the southeast coast of Alaska have been carving totem poles for less than 250 years. This is the state- ment made by Dr. Alexander Gold- enweiser, internationally kmnown anthropologist who formally occu- pied the chair of anthropology at Colulmbia University, and is now University of Oregon, “What do you think of Dr. Hrdlicka’s theory of the migration of people from Asia to Ameri(‘u"”} ion put to Dr. Gold- enweiser. | During the conversation which en- |C. Graham, arrived in port at 5 |oclock Thursday “It is:no longer a theory,” was the answer. “We have ample evi-| dence of this migration. “Bére is! no other way to account for the | American Indian.” ; “Mightn’t they have come from | the South Seas?” “That's too far away. N@& the American Indian—and thatificludes | the ancient races of Mexigo and | farther south—are the desc@fitants of emigrants from Asia, who tamc |SBitka and several canneries. by way of Bering Straits. to Al-| aska.” During hi smy in Juneau pr.'

Totem Carving Recent “Totem carving is' a Compara- tively new culture among the Al- aska Indians,” said Dr. Goldef- weiser. “I think less than 250 years. We find no dindications of totems in the excavations that have been made in various places.” Goldenweiser believes that the migrations from Asia were under way before the first ice age. The advance of the ice from the north may haye hesn a factor in driving them south, he said. Cruise Continues on Rogers The Pacific Steamship Company’s steamer Admiral Rogers, Capt.
