Tragedy Mared First Christmas Eve For Wrange Indians

WrangeI people. Let them go. my brother Shakes gets more mad. He slams the door. .You coward, he says. Shakes wants to fight the sold iers.
 That day seutdoU comes down out of the woods For two nights h. has been hiding Nothing to eat Nothing To keep hIm warm. He has heard the guns of the Fort firing on the Indian village. He is going to give himself up. He goes around to different houses Of the villages. He says, to his friends, Let Us smoke am going to die l am going ta give myself up to the soldiers. He goes 10 his brother-in-IaW. Shustak 8 house and he says, Let Us eat our last meal together 1 want to eat here before l die Seutdoo eats little salmon, then he smokes, then he gives his gun to his brother=in- law and takes a canoe and sets out across the bay for the Fort. T go to give myself up" he says If d. not give myself up you will all die.
 In the Fort yard the soldiers have built a gaIiows As soon as they have seutdoo, the Captain sends word 10 the Indian villages. He in vites all the people to come and see how they hang a man.
 SoutdOo Composer
 Scutdoo is a composer He sends word for his mother to bring him his dancing hat so he ean sing and dance once more before he dies. Ills mother brings the hat She is cry ing She has put a knife in his dane ing hat hoping that her son can kill the men who want to kill him. But. when the soldiers give Scutdoo his dancing hat the knife is gone. Seut- doc puts on his dancing hat and be dances and sings a song he has com posed.
 As soon as he has finished h. gives his mother his dancing hat. He turns and walks stiff and straight up the steps to the platform where the soldiers are waiting The sold iers start to put a cloth over seut- doo's face. They have the rope ready But seutdoo will not have a cloth over his head. He tears the cloth away, the soldiers put the rope around his neck. Everything is quiet except for Scutdoo's old mother. She is crying and Indians stand around in the rain looking very sad. Seut- doc is their brother.
 The soldiers wait minute But, Scutdoo does not wait. He does not wait for them to, how you say it---- spring the trap? No, seutdoo will not wait He jumps of the high platform. And so he dies.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-05-31
By WILLIAM TAMAREE As told to Winifred Williams

In the fall of 1869, white sold iers arrived in Wrangell. They hired our people to cut logs to build Q fort where the Federal Building now stands. All the time our people work, work, work and by Christmas they have built two log houses and one, another big one where the Captain lives, of lumber. Around all this they built a big yard (stock- ade) of logs with a big double gate.
 There are two towns then in Wrangell One, the white mans town, the Fort, and the other the Indians town which is where the saw mill now stands, Shakes Island and across from the island along the curved beach, clear around to the point at the end of the break water There is no main street then in Wrangell. Between the Indian villages and the Fort is a wide, sandy beach.
 The white soldiers houses and Fort are done.
 On Christmas Eve, the Captain of the Fort sends word to all the chiefs of the Indian villages: "To- night is Christmas Eve It is time to be happy You come up to the Fort and be happy and have a good time"
 The Indians say to one another What is that for, Christmas Eve?" Our interpreter does not know. The Indians do not know. They have never heard of Christmas They don't know, then, about Christ be- ing born. They just know the white chief of the soldiers say it is a time to be happy.
 Night time comes. It is cold. The wind blows Raining. Showing. The Indians go up the beach to the Fort.

Captain's Party Cav

Inside the Captains house every thing is warm. Lights. Music The soldiers are playing a violin and aeeordian.
 When you come in the door of the Captains house there is a big stair going up to a wide hall At the bot tom of the stair are two doors open ing to rooms off the entry hall In one of these rooms Is the captain 8 wife. She does not come to the party upstairs. She stays in that room.
 The Indians go upstairs
 Among the Indians are two bro thers named Isteen and Chuwan. They are nephews of Towatt, one of the Chiefs of the Indian village. They have their wives. Isteen's wife is Aglan. She is from the south. At Victoria she has seen white people She knows white mems dances and has on a dress like white ladies wear. It is wide with hoops and when the other Indians see her their eyes pop for they have never seen such a dress. Aglan, too, she knows how to do the white mans quadrille which she learned at the fort in Vancouver.
 Kchok-een. she is the other bro ther's wife. Chuwan's wife. She is a pretty Indian girl with rosy cheeks but she wears only Indian clothes, moccasins, and has a blan- Iya# ,rop,5 I,or GIa IOoc r,,f 1vvy,vry how to dance like this Aglan.
 The Indians sit on benches around the wall of the big hall. The sold iers pass plates of sandwiches and much wine. Wine? The Indians do not know what is wine Pretty soon eVerybody's head is going round. In dians' and soldiers.
 Pretty soon the Captain come and say to Aglan, We dancer" Az Ian then dances with the white Cap tain and all the Indians sit surpris- ed to see Aglan dancing so nice with the white chief. Then, another sold fer asks Kchok-een to dance. Kchok- cen does not know how to dance like Aglan but she gets up and tries. Soon, everybody around is laughing at Kchok-een trying to dance like Aglan. All the white chiefs are laughing, laughing.
 Trouble Begins
 Kchok-een's husband sees his wife and everybody laughing at her and he gets very mad. He is much a. shamed that everybody should laugh at his wife. He steps out onto the dance floor and pulls her away from the white soldier and throws her down the stairs. Kchok-een rolls over and over to the bottom of the

Following is the story of a dramatic and tragic Christmas Eve at Fort Wrangell, the Wrangell Indians first Christ mas, in the year 1869, as told by William Tamaree. a resident of Wrangel today. and an eye witness to the affair. The Ma tive version differs consider ably from that found in the archives at Washington as re- ported by the officers then in charge of the Fort. Tamaree was, at the time, six years old. However young, that stormy night of murder and terror left an indeible imprint on his memory It follows, in his own words:
The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-05-31

on the town I will shoot up every house in your villages"
 Everybody is scared. At that time there are many Indian houses in the villages. Kakes. Tsimpsians, many Indians from all around have moved to Wrangell Co work for the white soldiers cutting wood for the Fort. They are scared Everybody Is scared.
 The soldiers go pack to the Fort. Pretty so8n.-boom! We all hear the eannons at the Fort Boom! A tannonball has gone straight through scutdoos house and knock ed it down.
 Now. Chief Shakes, who is the head chief, gets mad. He rushes to Towatt's house. He says. "Towatt we are going to the Fort. We will talk to the white chief. The soldiers have killed two of our men. We have killed one or theirs We will take one soldier and we will kill him and then everything will be even. Shakes was plenty mad.
 Shakes is all dressed up like the soldiers. He has a uniform with gold punches on his shoulders and he has a long sword at his side. He has an other soldier suit so he makes Tow att put il on and they go to the Fort They march along the beach up to the Fort. The gates are closed but they tell the sentry they want to see his chief. The Captain says Let them come in"
 Shakes Mad
 In the Captains office the Cap. tain says for them to sit down but Shakes says, No The Captain then says, What do you want. Shakesg Shakes says, One man. Your man who killed my friend, Chuwan, and then I will give you Seutdoo who killed Smith"
 The Captain says nothing He sits and thinks. After a while he says Shakes, wait for while. Our law says we must have the man who killed Smith, but you go home. will think it over"
 Shakes and ToWatt go home then
 The next day comes and the Cap tain has said nothing. Then Shakes gets mad again. He is very mad. He goes to Towatt's house. This time he does not go in. He just kicks the door open and says, "Towatt, come! We will go take a soldier and kill him. Are you going to do nothing?'
 But, Towatt, who is a very smart and peaceful man says to Shakes Brother, our Chief, let them go They are a big dog. We are only 8 little dog. If we take a soldier and kill him, they will kill all the

 stairs. She screams. Then, down be- low the Captains wife, who is in this room at the bottom of the stairs. hears Kchok-een scream. She rushes out into the hall and quick picks up Kchok-een and takes her into the room But, before she can close the door, Ghuwan, who is a big, strong fellow, comes down the stairs. He wants his wife He wants to send her home so she cannot be laughed at any more He pulls at the door. It comes open a little way and the Captains wife puts her hand against Chuwan's face to shove him back and Chuwan bites off her fin ger.
 Now, the Captains wife screams. Loud.
 When they hear the Captains wife scream all the soldiers from above rush down the stairs. There is the Captains wife holding her hand and blood pouring down her arm. The Captain steps forward. He is very mad. He tells the soldiers to shoot Chuwan down. Isteen tries to save his brother and the soldiers shoot both the brothers down. Gnu wan falls, shot through the heart, and the other brother, shot through the arm, dies later.
 Now, Indians are scared. They fly out the front door and out into the dark, cold rain ana snow outside.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1940-05-31

They run quick for their homes a. cross town in the native villages.
 Later that night soldiers come to Towatt's house. Towatt, then, has a house near where the saWmill is now. The soldiers say to Towatt. "Towatt. you want GO fight? We have killed your nephews. Are the indians going to fight?' But Towar, sits very still. He says nothing. The soldiers go home Tramp. tramp They march down the beach back to the Fort.
 Not far from Towatt lives the brothers father. scutdoo. He is a. sleep while his sons have been killed. But, his wife, when she hears of it, wakes him. She shakes his shoulder and says. "scutdoO, the white soldiers have killed your sons. Wake up, your sons are dead. What are you going to do?"
 Scutdoo gets up. He dresses. He puts on his red war jacket I remem- Der it well. l have seen it many times. It is all red and has pockets around the bottom for shells for his Hudson Bay gun Scutdoo gets his Hudson Bay gun and starts for the Fort. He walks along the beach and 1t is still cold and windy, half raining, half showing. He walks, walks.
 Along the beach lives Leon Smith. He has a trading post where the Post Office now stands. He is the only white man in Wrangell who lives outside the Fort He has a . long, log cabin with a porch across the front.
 Shoots Smith
 Scutdoo walks, walks. Pretty soon he comes to Smiths trading post. He sees Smith walking across his porch. We'll here is a white man. Indian s law says when one of their men are killed by another tribe, other tribe must pay with the life of one of their men. White men have killed Scutdoo's sons. Here is a white man. So, Scutdoo raises his Hudson Bay gun and shoots. Smith falls dead.
 As soon as he has killed Smith, Scutdoo becomes arraid. Quick, he runs through the storm into the woods behind Wrangell to hide.
 The next day there is big trouble. The Captain of the Fort comes down to the Indian village. He says, "Where is the man that killed Smith9 I want that mani" But the Indians do not know where Scutdoo has gone. He is somewhere in the woods up back of Wrangell. The . Captain says, "If you don't get that man who has killed Smith and bring him to me, I will turn my cannons

please. Do make yourself comfort
able"
Well, she was glad enough to do
that, for her knees were trembling
with indignation. She took chair at
one of the deal tables. Schmidt put
glasses in one pocket, and a bottle of
whisky in the other, and joined her
there. She swung her chair away. and
studied the shelves behind the counter
as if she had never seen them before.
The drink gurgled into the glasses.
