 head of the clan, the. name of Rush
 Kane was conferred upon MT Wright

 KuSh-Kane was the nephew of the Kok-won-t tan chief at the time of the wars with the Wrangell h. dians. In peace gesture the Wrangell Indians invited the Sitka Indians to Potlatch. The Sitka chief and most of his men accepted and went to Wrangell in canoes. ? Several nights later, the Sitka h. . dians who had remained at home were gathered in a community house when they heard mournful dirge coming from across the water. Rush. , ing to the beach they saw Kush- Kane returning from Wrangell. With him he had his uncle's skull and told
 the tragic story of the massacre of
 the chief and all his men. Rush. Kane was the sole survivor of the trip.
