Grossf Lieutenant Governor of Ontario TRAGEDY IN LOS ANGELES .mother am) two ciiii.dken kii'mi dead little ones had been uarkotted WOLF TOTEM POLE AT PRINCE RUPERT This totem pole, which now stands at Prince Rupert, B.C., formerly belonged to a Nishga Chief, named Dauk, and stood in the front of his lodge, at Gitlakdaraii, on the Upper Nass River, in Northern British Columbia. The carved figures seen on the top of the pole represent the principal actors in legends describing the origin of the family crests. The owner of the totem pole belonged to the "Wolf Clas " The principal legend which explains how the wolf was adopted for the family crest is as follows: One day, Ions years ago, a great lava eruption took place, at Gitwunsilkqu, on the Upper Naas River. Tbe molten mass pushed the wtters of the river back across the valley to the mountain-side and formed a great lava plain, which extended from the head, waters of the Kshluich to the canyon, at Gwinaha. The fiery How overwhelmed villages and fishing hamlets in its path, and the people fled to the surrounding hills. Among these fugitives was an Indian cnief named Gum-lu-b gp'vlj Gura-lu-gidis He'd, with his family, to the highlands of the Shkamal River where they camped. Night after night they had no rest, but were disturbed by weird sounds and voices accompanied by the beating ot tomtoms. At lengiu the Chief and some of his braves determined to set out and discover where the sounds came lroro. The legend describes how they found themselves in the abode of "Luluks". Spirits of the Dead, where they beheld many strange thinp. Escaping from these haunted region, Gura-lu-gidis, overcome by fear, again took up his flight, this time across the Grease Trail to the Skeena River, leaving the Naas, with its terrors, far behind. When the winter snows had melted and tbe ice had left the river, Gum-Iu-gidis and his companions travelled down the Skeena River, in dugouts made from cottonwood trees, until they reached the island of Khern, now known as Kaien Island, on which Prince Rupert is situated. Not very long after they had settled at Khern, Gum-lu-gidis' rest was once more disturbed, this time by the nightly howls of wolves which seemed to be railing Gam-lu-gidis by his name. The old fear overcs Te him once more, for he thought the spirits ot the lava -had again found him out. After the howling had continued for t wo nights, the old Chief determined to meet his fate. Dressed in his ceremonial dancing robes, with face painted and his long hair tied in a knot, after the manner of the warriors of his tribe, he set out alone from the camp armed with his Chief's tomahawk, set with abalone shell. Following the direction from which the sounds proceeded, Gum-lu-gidis came fare to face with a large white wolf. Raising his tomahawk prepared to defend himself he noticed the animal was in great pain and unaware of his approach, as it was trying in , vain to dislodge . a sharp piece of . J V 1 l 1 aeer a none wnicn naa pierceu us jaw. uun-iu- f& a 1 eidis said to the wolf Brother, do me no harm -C'-f'iVwl and I will remove the bone which otherwise will cause your death." After Gum-lu-gidis had removed the bone, the wolf became very friendly, and each time the Chef went out hunting, the white wolf killed a deer for him; thus supplying him and his family wita food, So, the legend states, Gum-lu-gidis adopted the white wolf for his "Ayouks" (crest) and in his ceremonial dances always wore a white wolf skin robe. After some years of pice, Gum-lu-Ridis became homesick, and he returned to the Naas, for he longed to fish once more in the waters of the Kshliich, where the "hanginweatrch" (white salmon) spawn. H.
