same as a door plate or a Scotch plaid
Some persons think they are worshiped
as gods, but this is mistake. The To-
TENS are no more worshiped than escut-
cheons or Masonic emblems.
These same Alaskan Indians have pot
latches, at which gifts are given away
TO the guests. Potlatch is the Chinook
word for gift and the Invitations to the
feast are issued several days in advance
of the entertainment An hour or so
before the party begins. a messenger is
sent forth to ring bell to notify the
guests that the feast is about to begin.
Each person brings a pan and a cup
for coffee and is expected to wear the
gaudiest blankets his hut affords. When
the Indians, with faces painted and eye
brows blackened, appear. the meal be-
gins. 1t consists of pilot bread. apples,
coffee and candy and Is partaken of while
the guests sit on the floor. Everyone fills
by dancing.
The distribution Of gifts is the crown
ing feature of the occasion. Each host
aims to give away more than his neigh
boz. and blankets are distributed by the
hundreds. Sometimes the Indian giving
the party mounts his roof and throws
the gifts to his guests. He hopes not only
to gain a reputation for liberality. but
he thinks that If he gives enough he may
one day be elected chief. Rolls of cot
ton, -four and blankets are thrown.
There have been potlatches where blan-
kets were piled high and then burned or
torn into strips, as the Indians are reck-
less in their revelry and extravagant with
their belongings. Many Indian has
been ruined for life by his potiatch and
the frenzied dancing that ends the even
ing. Potlatch prodlgaIity has been so
detrimental that the whites have tried
to stop these orgies, but occasional cere-
monies are held with barbara splendor,
and when they take place invitations are
sought by the white man, who desires to
witness one of the most remarkable exhi-
billions connected with Indian life. Alaska
Is a storehouse of wonders, not the least
of which are its totem poles and pot
latcheS.

Since the enterprising citizens of Seattle
brought back totem pole from Alaska
and placed it in their public square many
persons have been interested in these
heraldric insignia which the Indians cher
ish with pride. Many of the Indian
tribes have selected the shores of the
mainland of Alaska for their abodes. and
their fondness for the water has earned
them the title of Venetians of America.
The totem poles in these villages are
worth going many miles to see. especially
those on the streets of Wrangel. Ketcht-
kan. Tongas. Killisnoo and Kasaan.
In reality. the legends which the totems
illustrate are nursery tales and traditions
interviewer with heraIdric designs. Few
white people know their history. but
Father Duncan, a missionary to these
Indians for 80 years. has gained what is
supposed to be the true story of the
Alaskan totems. According to his YER
sion. ages ago the Indians adopted these
crests. or totems. to distinguish the four
social clans into which their races are
divided. These were the Kish-pootwadda,
