Story Told Of I low Light Came
To The Thlingal Indian Tribes
!Continued From Page One)
ceased crying and commen
ced to play with the box in
great glee. Gradually he
dragged the box out of the
house and not being closely
observed, he opened the lid
and at once the stars took
their place in the heavens
and the box was empty.
The sorrow of the old man
was inexpressible, but he
was not able to deny his
grandson. Yeshl soon after
employed a similar ruse and
loosed the moon which
took its place in the heav
ens. The old man grabbed
at it and knocked it askew
and ever after, even at this
time of months the moon
sets on edge.
At last Yeshl wanted the
last box, the most valuable
of all, which contained the
sun, but the old ruse would
not work. The grandfather
remained inexorable. Then
Yeshl began to cry and he
wept so hard that he could
not eat and became serious
ly ill. At last, so copious
was his tears that all the
mountain peaks were cov
ered with water and to
save the continent from
being covered with the
waters the grandfather
gave the box to him with
the strict injunction not to
raise the lid. But as soon as
Yeshl had the box outside
the Igloo he transformed
himself into a raven and
flew away with it. On his
way he heard human voices
but could not see the peo
ple because as yet no light
illumined the world.
He questioned the people
if they would have light.
iney answered, you can
not give us light;only Yeshl
can give us the light of
day.” In order to convince
the doubters Yeshl raised
the lid slightly and the sun
popped out. The glories of
the first dawn were indes
cribably magnificient.First,
a rosy flush appeared in the
Far East, which brightened
minute by minute until the
dawn in all its splendor il
lumined the world.
Those men and women
who had dwelt in darkness
since the beginning of time
saw themselves and were
ashamed. Frightened, they
ran in all directions, some
to the mountains, some to
the woods, and some onto
the waters being transform
ed into the animals needed
according to their hiding
places.
The Thlinkats were still
without fire; those who had
it being located on an is
land far out at sea. Yeshl
proceeded to his place with
the help of his bird skin;
picked up a burning brand
in his bill and hurried buck
but the journey was so long
the brand was nearly con
sumed and the point of his
bill was scorched. As soon
as he arrived over the earth
he let fall on the shore the
glowing coal that remain
ed, and the sparks were
scattered over both wood
and pebbles. From this
time on the Thlinkats say
both wcoc and stone con
tain fire, which can be pro
duced by concussion and
by friction.
Fresh water was not to be
found upon the islands and
continent inhabited by the
Thlinkats but on a small is
land to the westward of Sit
ka, there was a well, guard
ed by a watchman named
Khenookn, the original an
cestor of the wolf clan.
Yeshl again employed ar
tifice in obtaining the boon
of fresh water. He took as
much as he could in his bill
and flew away over the is
lands, letting a drop fall
here and there. Wherever
the precious drops fell there
gushed forth limpid rivu
lets and streams, and
where large drops fell lakes
and rivers were formed.
But the ruse employed £>y
Yeshl in stealing the water
from Khenookn the Wolf,
is a separate story and will
be told at a later date.
This is the story of how
the light came to the Thlin
kats, the chosen of God, as
toid to me an old, old man,
as I sat and watched him
burn out his boat from a
huge tree on the beach.—
