Grand Potlatch
At Famous Old
Post On Yukon
Nulato, historic old lower Yukon
River point, famed in early history
for Indian slayings and as a fighting
ground of ancient tribal warriors
' "•*-.fi
before the days of the whites, has
been the scene of another colorful
and picturesque event recently.
The tribesmen of the realm have
gathered at Nulato, hundreds strong
and are having a grand potlatch—or
in the parlance of the white man, a
big give away party. Those who
have earthly possessions in way of
food, clothing and supplies are giv
ing to their neighbors on a grand
scale,and doubtless the Santa Claus
es of the tribes are getting the big
hand from those who have had to
hold down to a diet " of eels and
dried salmon with the salmon this
season being mighty scarce on the
Yukon.
News of the big potlatch has come
to Anchorage through the interven
ing ether of some 400 miles in a mes
sage to Station KFQD from old
Chief Esmilka, at Nulato. He says
the potlatch began Sunday, with
