j UNDER THE TOTEM OP THE
EAGLE
i F.arl Ohmer is now entitled to
! wear all of the Regalia of the high
I officialism of the ages old Thlinket
Peonle. With all of the pomp and
ceremony that goes with proper
initiation he has been made not
only one of ’em, but he is looked
upon as one worthy of all the hon
ors that goes with the office.
It called for two long periods of
initiation. The 'ceremonies were
held In the shrimp cannery where
men and women versed in the lore
of old time tribal ritual and ancient
codes, and the aeeompying tom-tom
beats and songs and speeches went
through with the uplifting of a pale
face to the exalted rank of ehieftan.
Ohmer was given - the nti me of Tak
wah-tan, meaning literally, deep
waters.
True it is, Ohmer didn’t go
through with the fasting program
—that part of an India’n upliF
from the ranks calling for a seven
day fast on an isolated rock in
the sea; he hasn’t been obliged to
undergo the wandering journey
through the forest for ten days,
naked and alone and without bow,
arrow nor spear; he hasn’t been
called to look for the rising sun
for three long moons from the
highest mountain peak in the
neighborhood of hte wickaup so
that he might bless it as it rose
and learn from it the secrets of
high office, of diplomacy and of a
welfare code for his people. It was
taken for granted that all these
things had been learned by different
routes in the schools of the pale
face
So Ohmer, now a white Indian
may wear the regalia of a Thlinket
chief, may preside over meetings,
may advise and council, may sit
with others of rank from other
tribes and deliberate. To those
who take a superficial view of
things, this old time, more or less
wierd ceremony of incantations car
ried through with chant and beat of
tom-tom is just a sort of out-ot-the
ordinary proceeding1 and of little
signficance. Herein they err.
There is just as much meaning, it
was as vital, as deep and as far
reaching as is the inauguration and
seating of any white official in the
white’s sphere of things. A dif
ference in method is all. Anyway,
Earl Ohmer Is a Thlinket of the |
Eagle clan, and a hyaz tyee man
at that.

motorship Brant made a short call
