Alatna Indians Shot Down Forty
Three Caribou, As Veteran Pilot
Noel Wien Spotted Them on Lake
BAND SIGHTED IIY FLIER ON
LAKE GIVES INDIANS OP.
PORTUNITY FOR FIRST
MEAT OF WINTER.
Thanks to Noel Wien, Fairbanks
aviator, Indians at Alatna now
have a plentiful supply of meat.
Flying from here to Alatna last
week Pilot Wien sighted a band
of 500 to 600 caribou on a mile
long lake about 30 miles from
Alatna, according to a recent is
sue of the Fairbanks News-Miner
received via air mail this week.
Upon arrival there he told of
having seen the herd and the
next day village hunters started
out with 10 dog teams. They
found the caribou still on the
lake and bagged 43 of them. The
meat was badly needed,since they
had not had any for a long time.
“You fixed us up with lots of
caribou,” the Indians told the
aviator. The caribou run does
not always go in the direction of
Alatna and for some time past
the villagers have been confined
pretty much to a fish diet. In
celebration of the successful hunt
a potlatch was held with a big
dance in the community hall.
Colder There
Wien was at Alatna over a
week, being grounded by contin.
uous low visibility. He returned
jhere a few days ago with Hans
Leochman, who was picked up at
Betties after walking there from
his mine near Wild Lake. Leech
man came down for the express
ed purpose of eating some good
food for a while. He plans to go
back with an outfit in Dccciv.be..
There was about 10 inches of
snow at Alatna and the Koyukt.k
River is frozen over. The ice
will bear a man’s weight but it
is not yet thick enough to sup
port an airplane. Alatna is some
thing over 200 miles northwest of
Fairbanks.
Stayed With Storekeeper
During his unexpectedly long
stay the aviator stayed with Wil.
fred Evans, who operates a store.
There are about 100 Indians in
the town and the Episcopal Chur
ch operates a fine mission there.
While Miss Kay( now in Fair
banks waiting to fly to Alatna,
has been on vacation, Miss Hill
has been kept busy at the mis
sion. She has been nurse, teacher
and general advisor to the com.
munity and there is no idle time
on her hands. The mission sch
ool is the only one there and Miss
Hill has been teaching 32 pupils.
Dubin Has New Store
Sam Dubin is now at Alatna.
He built a new store during the
summer.
