Hollywood
I hear there's a not so-funny
mix up over the movie rights
to the hilarious broadway com
edy, Never Too Late" star
ring Paul Ford and my pal.
Maureen O'Sullivan.
Warner Bros. claim to own
the screen rights-but here's
the hitch, the producers of the
show Elliott Martin and Dam
ny Hollywood Eyes, that
names on the level say the
rights are still in their posses
sion.
The Warner crowd talk
about starring Jack Benny or
jimmy Stewart as the middle
aged hero completely embar-
raised when his wife tells him
she is expecting a baby. But
the play producers say no
body but Paul Ford, who has
received sensational reviews,
be in the film.
Jackie Coogan is in the
doledrums over the condition
of his wife, Dodie, and daugh-
ter Leslie, who have returned
here after that serious, near
fatal automobile accident in
Florida. Although improved,
Dodie has a deep scar which
runs from her eye down to her
cheekbone and will have to
undergo plastic surgery when
she is stronger. Leslie remains
in a cast with a broken collar
bone.

ESKIMO POEM
 Flight
By Howard WeyahOk

By Howard WeyahOk It was night-deep night, That held cloudless sky With effervescent atmosphere Stiffness hung on a doWny String of silence. In the remote and turgid Chamber of my mortal brain There stirred a tiniest of nipples, As that of a grain of sand On the calmest pond. My mind had awakened From its deadened sleeping mass And timorously reached for
 thought And reached again. But thought, blithely eluding, Glided league beyond. It floated there, a winsome spirit The mind strived harder than be-
 fore To unfold the pliant elusive thing. Thought bounded-ten leagues
 more. The mind strained to reach again And streaked into boundless space Tn great pursuit in light-fast speed.
 Af u The thought pirouted, Touching a distant star. The sound of the touch Was a strident strum On a taut string in endless space.

"fm concerned about the future of the Indians and Eskimos," said Richard Frank, chief of the Indian community of Minto, at the hearing of the proposed road to Minto flats in the basement of the Chamber of Commerce building in Fairbanks.
 MT. Frank, representing his peo- pie, spoke his side of the argument in a quiet and staedy manner but his words carried the wisdom de- serving that Of chief, as Richard Frank is, of his people of Minto..
 He. though having had only 9th grade education, related the Minto situation in a lucid manner although saying, q have just had sixth grade education and am not able to use well chosen words"
 Richard Frank did not need to worry It was apparent that his words had profound effect on his rapt audience.
 When discussion was dwelling on the area of land needed by Indians to hunt on, one of the people in the audience asked the chief why he had never seen any Indians around his claim in F years, that he thought all of the land was not being used, Richard Frank replied, There was a complaint brought into the Minto Board of Directors about these cab ins, and we gave strict orders to stay away from those cabins-don't go near them, because we don't want to get our natives in trouble"
 Obviously feeling grateful for having been invited for the first and only time and given a chance to talk on behalf of his people, Richard Frank concluded:
 q feel I got load off my chest and feel better, and still feel Minto people want to hear your side and your say-so.
 T want to thank everyone for in- viting me to this meeting and want to say I was proud to get that in- vitation."
 And so to Richard Frank, Chief of Minto, for forcefully presenting his peoples views and problems, goes the Tundra Times eleventh North Star award along with our congratulations.

there is often room for misunder- standing due to cultural connota- tions of given symbols.
 But when two people from dis similar cultures speak different languages and are forced to com municate through an interpreter, the problems are even more com plex. Perhaps the most complex of communication prob e m s arise when one person has learned suffi- cient of the seconds symbols to communicate" but not necessarily to understand the bases of the symbols.
 Such is often the case in the north when an Eskimo or Indian has learned English but speaks it from his own cultural standpoint. The words simply do not mean the same thing to the native and the non-native speakers who are at- tnnrt'"o to communicate" due to the cultural contexts each gives the terms used.
 . Second Language
 Thus much misunderstanding is engendered. The additional prob- lem which is inherent in such con- tacts too is the feeling" that under lies the need to learn a second language in order to meet ones basic needs. Often there is resent ment due not to the learning of the second language but to the neces- sity of obliterating the first.
 Why does such a situation exist? In an era when people are spending many leisure hours attempting to learn a second language, when uni versity students at the graduate level are being asked to show pro- ficiency in three. if not four lan- guages. why is a group who could easily be bilingual being urged to forget their language and learn a new one?
 The genesis of the situation dates back many years when the concept of assimilation, then meaning the superimposing of one culture West ern) over another (Eskimo and h. dian), had as it's first goal the re- moval of native languages.
 Link of Culture
 After all, people without a lan- guage of their own have no vehicle for the transmission of their cul- ture. Therefore if you want to de- stroy major part of the culture. you simply have to remove the means by which it is transmitted from the old to the young.
 If the coming generation cannot understand the elders and there is no written language, the latter are left to reminisce among themselves and the young must find new di- rections from the superimposed cul- ture.
 Indeed the method worked ir Alaska with the exception of few villages and without the realization of many genuine people who helped the process along.
 The recognition that culture and language Gndeed severaD as well as spirit of identification and ethnic pride have been de- stroyed has come too late to be useful. In the few remaining villages with native speakers, the linguists will make their recordings and be- moan the passing of another genera ton.
 However, in a few places in Alas ka and in many villages in the north of Canada there is still a nucleus of native speakers. It is as a plea for the preservation of these re- maining traces that I recount the following positive and enlightening experience had when I taught for the Department of Northern Af- fairs in the Northwest Territories of Canada.

Native Land Problem


 On January 7, this year, The Tundra Times printed letter 10 inc President of the United States, John F. Ken endy, from William Bandon famous author of The Amer ean Heritage Book of Indians, for which President wrote Forward.
 This paper feels that some of inc contents of this letter of great importance and feel that many of should grasp them fully than have Some of the passages in this letter seem to apply well in the present land situation in the Minto area.
 Mr. Brandon wrote
 The Alaska Eskmos and Indians were assured of cer lain aboriginal rights by Congressional Act of 1884, a though these rights have yet been defined by Cong ress In common usage such rights assumed to be basic ally land rights But-unI the matter receives Congress- onaI definition how much land and hwere remains Un- determined
 The Alaska Statehood Act of 1o58 reasserted these s-undeermne rights But this Act granted to the State of Alaska generous portions of Alaska pubIic lands to be selected by inc State within twenty-five years
 Hands considered their by Alaskan native peope| fall more often than not within these pUblc ands There reports from Alaska that inc State is moving to possess itself of inc homeands and hunting o some ot these native peoples particularly where such lands are ot spec ia vaUe
 Such acts of technically legal but morally question: able dispossesson seem almost unbelievable in inc pres ent day. They recall inc dark ages of the midNneteenh century, in Indian Affairs.
 "As understand fl, the Interior Department is en' powered to withdraw from the pubc lands" in Alaska tracts of territory around all native villages. This would afford protection 10 inc natives against any encoachmen by the sate while all parties await the eventual definition by Congress of aboriginal land and hunting rights.
 Alaskan Eskimos and Indians have urgently queste such acon wish to join my most earnest plea 10 theirs.
 "Aaska is frontier literally, and inc spiritual climate created there will be factor in its development The treatment of inc native people in Alaska will have it's effect all inc people there, not just inc natives And is inc people there, in inc words of Thucyddes who will make inc State-not inc possession of some Eskimo villages oil and gas deposits.
 Tn my work in the history of American Indians have gotten inc impression that the record of the United States in Alaska from inc lime of Sheldon Jackson in inc 188Os until statehood rather good proud to say so in inc American Heritage ex with praise that, remarked therein was rare than rubies examples for being scarce
 1 feel confident that your administration will, in your own words in that book, continue to "do what must be done if our treatment of inc American Indian is not to be marked down for all lime national disgrace"

Educator Finds Teaching In Two Languages Is Best

munlty leaCnef 10 small Isolated village of Athabascan Indians just northwest of Yellowknife. My job at Lac La Martre was to teach basic English, basic primary pro- gram. and to help raise the stand ard of living through village pro- jects.
 was instructed that I was never to speak word of Indian in the classroom or in the village as this would decrease the motivation of the people to learn English. And so I went through the difficult process of attempting to teach children to count in English when they had not yet learned to count in Indian
 Among the adults, I used an in- terpreter and the results were more fruitful; several village pro- jects were completed and yet there was little sense of communication. It is difficult to know what people think and feel. what makes them laugh or cry when one has to use an interpreter who in this case was barely understandable. And so the months went on with much lack of understanding between us for we had no real way to communicate. Less Arduous
 By the second summer, decided that I would adhere to Depart mental policy as far as the class room went but that I would learn to communicate in Indian outside the school So, began to carry copious notes with my written ap- proximations of Dogrib on them.
 My ear was never quite accurate and the process was slow one. However at the end of four months I could manage without an interpre- ter for day to day matters.
 I reverted to a translator when a crisis arose, someone was ill with internal complications etc. But. l did sense in those few months new respect among the people which reflected itself in their will ingness to cooperate even when they did not fully understand the project or the method.
 Evening hours became filled with stories and pleasant conversations with much effort on the part of the people to help me understand words I had not yet learned. For eXam- pie, upon several occasions one or the Council members would do pantomime of an animal until 1t registered with me and I could identify it.
 And the process became recipro- cal one: many of the adults found themselves greeting me in English or asking to borrow an item which they named in English. All of us felt pleased with ourselves and with each other. The tasks became less arduous, the days brighter and the pattern of human relationships warmer and more trusting. New Difficulty
 was assigned to the Arctic Edu- cation Section when I returned to head office in the fall of 1858. In May 1859, I went to Ungava Bay to teach in the Eskimo fish camps.
 This time communication was even more difficult as had no in- terpreter and no one spoke any English. taught Basic English and learned few words of Eskimo but not many due to the lack of some- one to explain what the words meant.
 It was a good way to learn how difficult it is to learn a new lan- guage if the person is not familiar with the underlying concepts. Yet this was what we were asking the children to do.

Sunday, May IL, was red letter
day for the people of Klagetoh. 1t
was doubly evenrful for Council
woman Annie Wauneka, who sawthe
fruition of a cherished cam
amidst many comments Of praise
and congratulations and acquired
an adopted son.
On Mothers Day, Sunday, the
new hogan shaped and flagstoned
decorated Klagetoh Chapter House
was dedicated by a host Of dig
nitaries, visitors and the people
of the Klagetoh Chapter, with the
crowd estimated in excess of 1000
people.
1t was a particularly appro-
pirate day for the dedication, as the
moving force behind the building of
the chapter house was Annie
Wauneka, CouncilWoman from the
area for many years and a mother
herself. Master of Ceremonies
Howard w. German told the aud
ience at the dedication that "Anme
Wauneka is responsible for much
of the development which you see
around you, and it is appropriate
that we pay tribute to her at this
dedication on Mothers Day."
CouncilWoman Wauneka said
that it was important that the Klag-
etoh Chapter House be dedicated
for the good. Good leadership, good
prosperity and all good things we
want to come out of this. She also
