BY JESSIE B. BEACH. “ HE world-famed totem poles of British Columbia and Southeast | Aleska, long believed by scien- | tists to be remnants of a lost | ert, which blossomed at the prehistoric past. have recently been identified by Dr. Marium Barbeau of the National Museum of Canada as late and bizarre manifestations cf a modern In- dian art which reached the climax of its | development less than 50 years ago. | Following an intensive study of the | totem poles in this region, occupled by | native Americans known as Northl’csl} Coast Indians, the Canadian sclentist says: “The art of carving and erect-| ing totem poles is not as anclent on| the Northwest Coast as is generally be- | lieved. Popular misconceptions that | totem poles are hundreds of years old are fantastic. They could ;not be, from | the nature‘of the material and climatic conditions, Green cedar, from which these poles sre carved, cannot with- stand the climatic conditions of the region much more than 50 or 60 years. | Most of the poles now in the various parks and museums throughout the ! country were carved after 1860, while not a few of those seen in Indian vil- lages were erected after 1890.” | Explorers Omit Mention. More definite proof, however, that the custom of erecting totem poles was not so prevalent even a hundred years #go, the scientist points out, is seen in | the fact that early explorers of this region, such as Cook, Dixon, Vancouver, La Perouse and others, did not men- tion them even though they described in detail the ‘houses, clothing, art and handiwork of the natives in any num- ber of Indian villzges. Although the expression of native | personality and craftsmanship came naturally to the Northwest Coast In- ns the rapid growth of their wood- carving art was influenced largely, Dr. | Birbeau continues, by the introduction of European tools. The steel ax, the adz and the knife, which the Spanish and English traders brought to the region, made possible a better carving technique and shaping on a larger| scale of monumental structures that| formerly were cut in a much more painstaking way on less pretentious| objects, such as cups and spoons. ‘These mincr carvings, known as eatly as the time of Capt. Cook, in 1778, | were numerous and veried, finding ex- | pression on almost every article of | household use, but the most striking | objects on which the natives in ]flur‘ Ay | however, an | companied by much ceremony | of all the erection of a pole, which must origin of these grotesque wooden tomb- stones is unknown, it is believed the custom sprang from an archaic style of house decoration known as house- posts, which bore a carying of the tri- bal or family totem. This totem might be real or imaginary. Some fantastic creature, for example, which had a peared in a dream such as the thunder- bird, which makes lightning by the flash of its eyes and thunder by the of its wings, might be chosen mily totem. For the most part, als common in the region, such as the beaver; bear, killer-whale, shark, hawk, eagle and raven, are more | frequently chosen as the totem or the reputed animal progenitor of ‘the par- ticular clan and family to whom the pole belongs. According to H. W. Kreiger of the U. 8. National Museum, who is also an authority on totem poles, the raising of one of these memorial columns is ac- First of necessity be to the maternal uncle of the owner, must include carved rep- resentations of animals and events il- | lustrating the traditions and genealogy of the family, together with carved images of the family animal totem or crest, At the time of the erection of the | pole, Mr. Kreiger points out, it is cus- i tomary to give away a large amount of | property, such as blankets, canoes, and, in former times, even slaves. Such property distribution has come to be known as a potlatch. The giving of a potlatch by an Indian establishes his right in the community to a totem pole. Potlatch Varies. The amount of property distributed | among the clansmen who erect the pole depends upon the size and the height of the pole, which, in turn, is determined by the number of animal crests or totems and the rank of the maternal uncle which the builder of | the totem pole is to inherit. An In-| dian would be laughed at by his fellow clansmen if he erected a large pole, but did not possess adequate means to distribute sufficlently substantial gifts at the time of the raising of the pole, | or if he assumed animal crests which were not traditionally his to assume. All this does not, however, preclude the right of the owner to introduce carvings {llustrating some particular ex- | perience or event in his own life which might add weight to his bid for fame, The following story is told of & carved figure on & certain pole representing the experience of an Indian at Tongas vil- lage who once acted as host to & former secretary of the U. 8.

The ' Cornell Sun. undergraduate papér, had demanded that the names of those uriversity men who had died for Germany and her allies be included in the memorial, but it was explained that subscriptions ' had been asked for a memorial to those who had fought for the United States and the allies, and to | include the names of the others would | necessitate a complete change in plans.
