Eskimo Dialect
Is Troublesome In
Washington, D.C.
By FrB, Willi
Associated Press Special Service
WASHINGTON W — Willie
David, an Eskimo from Alaska,
got comfortably settled at the Na
tional Institute of Health — once
they managed to break the speech
barrier.
But it was no simple task. Before
it was solved, a congressman, a
cherry blossom princess, a capitol
policeman and Alaska’s first dele
gate to Congress became involved.
The 32-year-old David was flown
here for treatment of a heart ail
ment. He was sent from the Alaska
Native Hospital in Anchorage under
an arrangement with the Public
Health Service.
Papers carried by David, a resi
dent of Kwethluk, got him to the
NIH in nearby Bethesda, Md., all
right but the admission process
broke down because he could speak
no English.
The hospital called Rep. Ralph
Rivers for help. He thought he had
the problem solved when he turned
the phone over to Gladyce Walker
who works in his office.
It turned out that Gladyce, who
is Alaska’s Cherry Blossom Prin
cess this year, didn’t know the
language well enough and she sug
gested calling on Miles Brandon, an
Eskimo from Dillingham who is
now a capitol police officer.
Brandon discovered that David
Cpoke the Kuskokwim dialect of the
language with which he wasn’t too
familiar.
After trying several other Eski
mo residents of the area without
success, the group decided to ask
advice from Frank Waskey, Alas
ka’s first delegate to Congress who
now lives in nearby Olney, Md.
The 86-year-old Waskey, who
lived for many years in Alaska, was
not able to give advice but, it turn
ed out, he knew the correct dialect.
He went to the hospital and help
ed get David admitted.
David was undergoing tests and
examinations at the end of last
week to determine whether he
would need surgery.
Frogs sometimes suffer from
“athletes foot,” even as you and I.
