To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Collectively, they tell a marvelous story of the superstitions and customs which prevail among the Indians of the District of Alaska. Such are the totems, the heraldic signs of these far-northern natives. Aside from any amusement the totems may afford, as ethno- logical specimens, they are of un- usual moment ; as genealogical rec- ords thev are without parallel, and as carvings they are strikingly origi- nal in both conception and execu- tion. Some are erected as monu- ments to absurdities of ...belief, and others are silent eulogies to depart- ed parents or rulers. The totem poles, sixteen in all, are from two different tribes living on Prince of Wales Island. At an old village call- ed Tuxekan, four were obtained. An- other was presented to the commis- sion by Chief "Tom, " a Thlingit of Klawack. The very large poles are from the Hydah villages, Sukwan, Klinkwan, Onhonklis and Kasaan. All of the poles together, with an enormous dugout war canoe, were loaned by the natives, but must be returned to them at the close of the Exposition.
