Long Ago Chiefs Met ut Tnnunu To Nuke Lt1aUs
By Alfred Starr Staff Writer

Long ago before the white man came to Interior Alaska, every few years Indian chiefs and their coun- cils from many. areas met at Tan- ana.
 The chiefs sat down and made laws so they could get along with one another in friendly manner. They talked about ways to improve the economy of their people, how to get enough furs for clothing, how much hunting ground each tribe would be allowed so there would be no hardships to the old and the sick.
 It was a good thing they did this because without such meetings, they could not have, survived.
 My father and mother witnessed the last big meeting of chiefs in Panama. At that time there were only a very, very few white people in the Interior of Alaska. They said there was about a thousand that gathered at that meeting.
 The camp was about three miles long from the mouth of Panama River and up the Yukon River. People camped not only on the bank, but inland for some distance. " People came all the way from the

mings also helped to keep the body heat from escaping too rapidly.
 Mems parkas were made to mid- thigh length so it would not hamper their movements. Women's parkas were made to mid-calf length.
 Dramatic Contribution
 When the caribou parka was completed, it was superb apparel for Arctic climate It was warm, pliable, above all, light and .un- cumbersome. The natives, especial ly the hunters, demanded parkas that were light and warm because. often, they took home game, such as dragging seals. on the ice or snow.
 In the drama of survival in the Arctic the parka without question, contributed immensely in the pro- cess of mans adaptation to the severe condition under which he lived. Without it, it would seem doubtful that he would have, sur. vived because of the very nature of his existence, that of pursuit of game as his mode of economy.
 And so, the parka would have to be classed as one of great neces- sity in the dramatic survival of man in the Arctic.

Tundra Telephone Expands in Two
 Large Villages

The Eskimo community of Una lakleet on the Bering Sea will have a complete automatic dial tele- phone system by April, it was an- 'nounced recently by James V. Dit to of Anchorage, president of Tun- dra Telephone, Co.
 Ditto reported that central of- flee building, automatic exchange and outside plant material will be flown to Unalakleet in few days. Tundra Telephone Co, which op- crates phone systems in Bethel and McGrath, sets the initial cost of the Unalakleet exchange at $3e, 900.
 ,"All local labor will be used for erection of the building and install- ing outside plant facilities" said Ditto.
 The new phone system, which will start with about 60 subscribers, has been approved by the Unalakleet Village Council, and permission has been granted by the REA-sponsor- ed Unalakleet Electric Cooperative for use of its poles.
 The exchange is designed to tie in with the Alaska Communications System for long distance calls.
 "Just like his fellow Alaskans in Bethel and McGrath and Anchor

age, the Unalakleet subscriber will only have to dial no to talk to the long distance ACS operator in An chorage," Ditto said.
 The Anchorage phone executive revealed that his firm is now work ing on plans for a new phone sys- tenn at Barrow. Already approved by the Barrow Village Council. the new exchange for Alaska's largest Eskimo community is slated for construction this spring Ditto ex- poets the continents farthest north in operation by midsummer. community phone system will be

Polar Bear Licks Thin Ice. Problem

On a very cold day an Eskimo hunter saw huge object on newly frozen ice. Upon closer scrutiny he was amazed to see that it was a polar bear. Apparently, the big anil nal wasn't in the mood to get wet that day.
 The huge beast was spread-eagled and was inching its way toward the thick ice. He was distributing the weight of his great bulk to cross the thin ice.

The ancient Natives of Alaska. in adapting to their environment in the frigid climate of the Arctic. devised a garment that has served extremely we'll down through the ages. The severe climate in which they lived urgently called for clothing that would withstand very low temperatures. oftentimes ac- oompanied by high winds. Out of this great necessity the northern people developed the parka, a gar ment that is near perfect for Arctic wear.
 Parka Recognized
 Not until relatively recent past has the value of the parka, as an Arctic or cold weather garment, been recognized by non-natives. They not only have found that it is warm for winter garment but distinctive in that it could be a beautiful attire. The parka natural ly lends itself to ornamental trim- mings that enhances its beauty.
 The ancient people of the Arctic must have had to experiment al length before they arrived at the most suitable material for parkas Ultimately the common choice be- came the skin of the caribou. The animal was plentiful and the parka made from it proved to be light, warm, and quite easily obtained.
 Other Materials
 Other parka materials were used one of which were skins of ground squirrels. These little animals were plentiful in the Arctic and could be shared quite easily as they emerged from their burrows. The meat was used for food.
 Squirrels were taken at the ap- proach of fall season when the fur of the animal took on gray cast which the natives considered as prime for parkas and which they thought, and rightly so, beautiful.
 As result, squirrel skin parkaS although quite warm, were mainly used forgceremonial attire on such occasions as the whaling celebra- tions and other events.
 Another was siksikpuk. or hoary marnot skin. that was used for parka material. This animal was not hunted extensively because it was usually found on rocky hills in remote areas. Parkas made from marnot skins were usually for lux ury and for leisure attire. This skin made fine parka material. It was very warm and had lasting quali- ties, but it was rather heavy in weight.

were sometimes used for this pur- pose.
 Fresh skins were simply hung on racks to dry thoroughly in the weather. It was the job of the woman to prepare them for parkas.
 EkOon
 The tanning of the skins was begun. The main tool for this pur- pose was the ekoon, or scraper. Ekoon was highly thought of by women owners. They felt that it was one property they could afford to be fussy about and they prac- ticed this privilege to the fullest extent. The grip handle on the ekoon has to be precisely carved by the husband to fit the hand of his wife. If it didn't have the right feel, he was told to carve corrections to it. The grip had to be exactly right.
 AS result, it was rare that a woman borrowed another's ekoon because it rarely ever fitted the hand of another. Owners considered them of vital importance as well as personal.
 The women took a scraper that had a dull edge for preliminary softening of the stiffly dried skin. After this an ekoon with sharp flint edge was employed to remove the layer of tissue next to the skin.
 Pumice Process
 After this was removed. the next process followed Finely ground pumice was sprinkled on the skin and the ekoon was applied using the pumice as an abrasive. After this application was completed, the caribou skin was quite supple and pliant.
 To make it even more supple, the women dampened the skin with water, after which the skin was rolled tightly and allowed to stand for an hour or until the dampness thoroughly permeated the skln.
 The skin was then unrolled and allowed to dry. The ekoon was again applied, this time to crack the epidermis of the caribou skin. Pleasant Sound
 This process had pleasant sound as the woman applied the ekoon to the skin. With each firm push of the scraper the epidermis cracked with resulting sound of multiple sharp cracking noises, something like muffled popcorn popping. This process did not affect the hair roots because the cracks travelled around them.
 This was done covering every area of the skin. After that the dull

Great Innovation

The hood of the parka was the most important innovation. The protection of the face in below zero temperatures was of great neces- sity and the hood provided that in a most efficient manner. It made frostbite less frequent
 In designing the hood the na- lives found that fur trimming or ruff around the hood served great purpose. It kept the warm body heat from escaping too rapid ly from the face area.
 Women, when making the hood, left some open space under the chin. This was done for a reason. Warm body heat rose through it and up the face area. In very cold weather this was made more ef- fective by tying belt just above the hips around the parka to allow no draft from the parka hem and up through the neck opening Greatest body heat is generated in the trunk area of the body.
 When one found it necessary to go directly against the wind in be- low freezing weather one averted his face to one side or the other, away from the wind and thus al- lowed the body heat to continue to radiate up his face.
 White Calico Adapted
 When civilization made it's advent into Alaska, one of the things that took the fancy of the Eskimo hunt CTS was white calico cloth. They wasted no time in adapting it to use as an aid in hunting. They had their wives sew it into parka cov- CTS that made them less conspicuous as they stalked their quarries.
 During the Second World War, United States. Russia. and other countries made effective use of furnishing their soldiers with white uniforms when they fought in countries where there was snow.' Precise Thickness
 Having found that caribou skin was most ideal for general wear, the hunters began to take caribou at the approach of fall weather In August the hair of the caribou, grew to the thickness or length of one inch, considered as ideal for main parka wear.
 Fawns, soon after they were dropped in spring were taken for inner parkas. The natives thought them most necessary, because air space between the layers provided additional insulation. Squirrel skins

scraper was again applied to make the skin thoroughly pliable.
 Pliant Material Needed

| IIle Shlu lIiOIOuSIly pAldDlC
 Pliant Material Needed
 There was a reason for making supple and pliable clothing and that reason was freedom of movement by the wearer The hunter did not wish to be encumbered by stiff and clumsy clothes, especially by his parka In cases of emergency he needed freedom of movement if quick action was called for.
 Having finished the tanning of the caribou skin the woman com- menced to, cut patterns for the parka, using the ulu, or woman's knife. This was done skillfully and quickly because the woman had been trained to do this by her mother ever since she was young girl.
 The patterns were sewn together with caribou sinew. Wolverine or wolf fur was sewn around the hood for ruff Usually wolverine fur was sewn to the hood of the inner parka and wolf ruff to the outer or main parka.
 As finishing touch narrow strips of wolverine fur were sewn around the hem of the parka, and around the sleeve ends. These fur trim
