AN INDIAN GREETING.
The Salutation a Canadian Heard on
the Columbia River.

The Salutation a Canadian Heard on
the Columbia River.
Telling about the Indians of the Pa
cif1c coast as he found them in 1916.
| Paul Kane, the Canadian artist, tried
to give an idea of their language as he
found it at that time The example
which he quotes would have delighted
Max Muller, and it may interest some
readers in this country. In his WAN
behring's of an Artist he seems not to
recall any particular individual of the
name of Clark who might have i'm
pressed the Indians of the Columbia
river, but American readers will at
once think of the comrade of Major
Lewis in the famous expedition of
1903.
| would willingly give specimen of
the barbarous language of this people
were it possible to represent by any
combination of our alphabet the hor-
rible, harsh. spluttering sounds which
proceed from their threats. apparently
unguided either by the tongue or lip.
says Mr.. Kane 1t is so difficult to ac-
quire mastery of their language that
none have been able to attain it ex-
cept those who have been born among
them
They have. however, by their inter-
course with the English and French
traders succeeded in matchmaking
after a fashion some words Of each of
these tongues with their own and in
forming sort of patois. barbarous
enough certainly. but still sufficient to
enable them to communicate with the
traders.
This patois was enabled after some
short time to acquire and could con-
verse with most of the chiefs with toll
cradle ease.
Their common salutation is "Clak- hob
ah-yah," originating, as ] believe, in
their ancestors having heard in the
early days of the fur trade a gentle
man named Clark frequently addressed
by his friends, CLARK, how are you?'
This salutation is now applied to ev-
cry white man, for their own language
