In the 1850's came the American whalers, the fir.st white men, except for a few stray Russians, most Alaskan Eskimos had ever seen. Eskimos began trading i the whalers.

Today, the i of many Eskimo villages solidly based on the reindeer herds.

E-kimos prefer to live in the remote parts of Alaska--northern regions i long, hard Winters and short, cool Summers, few mountains, ice-bound sea coasts and endless expanses of treeless plains. Many a white Alaskan lives a whole lifetime without ever seeing an Eskimo in his native regions. The Aleuts (pro- of Cars in U. S.

Inhabiting a region of foggy islands and bewildering inlets teeming with fish, the Aleuts are able seamen and clever fishermen.

They raise foxes and up to "Pearl Harbor" about 400 of them worked on the Pribi- lof islands as sealers. Distantly related to the Eskimos, they have their own language and traditions. The Aleuts were "civilized" a hundred years ago by Russian traders. As in the case of their cousins, the Eskimos, they were almost wiped out by civilization. From a people numbering some 25.000 when the Russians arrived ir.

the they were soon reduced to about 1.000 males. The rest had been murdered or en- a on the ships by fur hunters, or shanghaied on the ships ol traders. Don't be surprised if an Aleut's name turns out to be an Ivanov or Olsen. He is proud of this evidence of European blood, which has been mingling with his own for a century or more. Show respect for his religion, his graves and the wooden Orthodox church in which he worships.

Rely on his knowledge of local geography --he and his father, almost before they could walk, paddled aboui these treeless, fog-bound or windswept coasts. There are no quite as a Indians as Eskimos. The 12,000 Alaska Indians live in the i valleys of the i i and on the south-centra and southeastern sea coasts anc islands.

But i innermost thoughts are not a spoken before the whole village, as is the Eskimo custom. Nor do they carve their family history boldly on poles and exhibit it to the passerby, as the Tlingits do The Tlingit Indians are a seafaring people, i i on the islands and the broken coast of southeastern Alaska. There are about 5,000 of them. Vou will know you are in i i country when you see the all, gaily-painted totem poles. These are deeply carved cedai rees.

'hey are a i crests.

There re two main types: the Ivnise iost, in or in front of the com- Tumity house, and the memorial olumn over a grave. Totems are mportant as a i and clan ecorris. representing not only the a i i a animal of the clan, ut important events and heroes i a i history. Totem Poles Expensive.

A tall and omplicated totem pole is worth many hundreds of dollars and akes many weeks to carve. First, a perfect tree must be selected. is then hollowed out and dragged the village. Originally.

Tlingit carvers used stone or shell knives. The colors used are natural vege- able and mineral paints, prepared according to age-old recipes. Many fine totem poles have been allowed to decay to a point where restoration is no longer possible. Carving them had become a lost art until the federal government, recognizing their im- sortance to Alaskan history, salvaged many fine examples and had them restored by native carvers. A lot of old poles have seen saved, and a number of new ones carved in the ancient tradi- They can be seen in some national monuments (federal reserve areas) and in many towns of Southeastern Alaska.

Celebrate Instead of Save. Tlingits never remained rich for long. When one of them saved many blankets, which were used for money, he didn't put them in bank and live oTi the interest. He held a great faast, called potlatch, at which he gave everything away. The more he beggared himself, the more honor he received.

To a Tlingit. trees are friends. Throughout his history he depended on them for his canoes, beams and rafters, the boxes, which contain his family treasures. ceremonial hats and dancing masks, drums, shields and weapons and totem poles. When the i man came the Tlingits battled fiercely for their ancestral forests.
