ALASKA TOTEMS ART OF
RECENT DATE
-x
Dr. Alexander Golden we'-ser,
member of the Oregon Univer
ity faculty, formerly professor
of anthropology in the Univers
ity of Columbia, recently de
aeclared it his opinion that to
tems of the Alaska Indians are
acquisitions of a date net to ex
ceed 250 years ago. He believes
ffiat migration of the American
Indian is not from the south, but
from Asia. “The American In
dian—and that includes the an
cient races of Mexico and far
ther south—are the descendants
of emigrants from Asia, who
came by wa yef Bering Straits to
flaska,” he declared recently in
Juneau. “We have ample evi
jence of this migration. There
is no other way to account for
the American Indian,” he fur
ther stated.
“Totem carving is a compara
tively new culture among the
Alaska Indians,” said Dr. Gold
enweiser. “I think less than 250
years. We find no indications
of totems in the excavations
that have been made in various
places.”
