WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21, 1950 | YAKUTAT INDIANS | PRESENT MUSEUM WITH PRIZED RELICS One of the finest collections of Indidn relics to be obtained by the Territorial Museum has arrived here from Yakutat, where Museum Curator Edward L. Keithahn spent several days this week making pur- {| chases from the natives there. The Yakutat natives, farthest north tribe of the“Thlinget Indians, | have incorporated as a town and decided to do away with their totemic and heraldic prizes which have adorned their homes since time immemorial. But they didn’t want their heir- looms to leave Alaska, and they wanted them kept in a fireproot place. So they offered the material to the museum here. Keithahn hasn’t unpacked every- thing he brought back from the Ocean Cape settlement, but a few of the most prized exhibits he has on display already—in temporary spots, prior to deciding exactiy where to put them. The greatest prize he obtained - | blanket clasp and other art work Up to Whose Neck in What? s URE, there was a fire at his house yesterday but he’s smiling. Why? Because he was adequately insured! Will YOU be smiling tomorrow if Fire strikes tonight? Make your answer a hearty “Yes” by seeing us for adequate insurance today! | Shattuck .

The figures depict a she- grizzly and her mythological hus- band, the husband being adorned with human hair. Both have eyes of silver, and the husband has silver teeth besides. Keithahn was house guest of the | R. W. Millanders while in the town. Millander is an employee of the Civil Aeronautics Administration. The collection includes sevefal house totems, a number of ermine and buckskin potlatch shirts, masks, song batons, a thunderbird screen, and other picturesque devices made many years ago and cherished by the Yakutats until they decided to drop their ancient customs—or a least their symbols. | The younger generation, they wld{ Keithahn, didn't seem interested in heraldry, and few in fact can speak the mother tongue. He was startled ! to see three girls studying an an- cient copy of Swanton—written in 1905—trying to learn their ‘“own” language. Swanton came north that year and wrote down the Thlinget tongues phonetically, and is still considered the top authority on the dialects. One ceiling plaque, deplcting an Indian who discovered both the north and south poles—long betore Amundsen—he left behind, because the museum couldn’t accommodate | the piece. He brought numerous sllver or- naments, however. A nose ring, a he has on display already. The silver was brought in by early trad- ers and fashioned by the early Indians into art objects. | The natives, who leave their vil- lage ‘empty each fishing season, were afraid that fire might destroy their relics, and ¢hat was another reason for presenting them to the Museum. ‘HOMEY’ VACATION FOR ERNEST EHLER Refreshed from a two-week vaca- tion, Ernest Ehler has resumed his duties as the affable chief clerk at the Baranof Hotel. His sun-tan is but from gardening and painting at the family home in the Waynor Tract. His vacation started June 5, the| day he and Mrs. Ehler celebrated their twentieth wedding anniver- sary.
