What reading level is The Totems of Alaska book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An occasional combination of modern and primitive ideas will be found, of which the accompanying illustrations, 7 and 10, are fair examples.
The grave of the Tlingit iktuh, or medicine man, is isolated from that of his tribesmen. On a high bluff or point of land overlooking the water, a boxlike structure of logs or lumber is built, being elevated a few feet from the ground. In this the body is interred with the scant attire, images and other ceremonial effects peculiar to his craft. The canoe o...f the deceased is placed at the base of the rough sepulcher. On the front of this structure is carved or more frequently painted the totem of his clan. There is no combination of figures as the pride of the Tlingit iktuh centers in his individuality rather than in family ties.
THE KAKE TOTEMS THE Kake branch of the Tlingits have a very unsavory reputation among the people of Alaska. It is thought that many prospectors and hunters have met with foul play at the hands of the Kake tribe. The Tlingit custom throughout Alaska has been to take the life of one or two white men to even the score when a native is killed.
