James Mooney is now doing among some
of the Indian tribes of the west What we
have concerning the natives OF Alaska comes
largely from missionaries, and from Ivan
Petrott, who wrote great part of the CEN
SuS of 1880. A book has been recently pub
lished by Livingston T. Jones, who lived
for 70 years among the Thlingets and got
his information concerning them at first
hand. His story is interesting. 1t gives
legends of the Crow, Deer and other faml-
les, and includes legends of many of the
tribes. He says that the Whale family or
iginated from an Indian boy who amused
himself by carving images of whales out f
cedar and sailing them upon the water One
day one Of his cedar whales expanded be-
fore his eyes and turned into real live whale,
which swan away. From this fact his par
ents knew he would become great chic,
and he did not disappoint them, for he origi-
mated the Whale tribe, branches of which
are scattered throughout southeastern

According to the unWritten law of these

Indeed, the customs, myths and folklore
of these Alaskan Indians are such that our
government should put its scientists to work
gathering a record of them before it is too
late. We need some such work III Alaska
