The Indian family or house included the uncle., and aunt, and rouin,t and succession always went through the nephew and not through the soti or daughter. The. nephew was oDen thought more of than the son. When a man married he joined himself with Ihe wife's family, bul It she died usually tie wen I back lohis own.

They were the pirate, of the Pacific as far as their canoes could carry them. They raided their neighbors, es pecially those of Ihe nearby mainland, look their scalps and carried away such ns they wished for slaves. Kinknlith, now a peaceful Anglican villajge on the .Vaa, Iliver, is "Tho Place of the Scalp" and the rock behind the village is the place where the scalps were hung ujfrrjja successful raid. While they liave no history except (he weird stories lold, fact being woven vvtlh fiction, yet their laws and customs were handed down from father to son. the old men instructing Ihe )oung men in tho traditions and laws of the nation.

The others are simply remnanls of gardens where a few potatoes are grown by Ihe natives.

Some o hand-lodging, others fix up he house-a and gardens and Im prove the reserve, erect churches, nubile halls or do any necessary work. They lake up new work with enthusiasm, htif are often slow al romplctinir it. Almost every family has its own motor-boat and the canoe has practically disappeared. The men build Ihe boats themselves and install the engine and operate it and very few accidents are re corded. A few have bank accounts, make their wills before they die and even own city properly, both here ami in other eilies. Not Cheap Labor The Indian is nol cheap. He will nol cul prices.
