ARRANGE PEACE;
HATCHET BURIED
SITKA.-—War, mostly of the
smoldering variety, but which in
past generations has blazed up and
drawn blood, no longer exists be
tween the Sitka and Wrangell clans
of the Kock-Wan-Ton caste of the
Thlinket Indian tribe of South-east
ern Alaska. Peace was declared
at a meeting November 11, the
same day on which the world war
armistice was signed.
Democratic principles, taught the
younger Indians by the United
States government teachers, pre
vailed at the peace conference. The
Indians decided to set aside their
tribal customs. Disputes, the In
dians decided, in the future will
be settled by the white man’s law,
instead of by hostilities.
No Indian now living can re
member the time when the Sitkas
and Wrangells were at peace.
There has been bad blood between
them for years. The last futile at
tempt to make peace took place in
the early eighties, when Jack
Yaquan, father of one of the dele
gates at the last meeting, led his
tribe of Sitkas to Wrangell to make
peace. A war cry greeted their
arrival, and nearly all the visitors
were massacred by the Wrangells.
Chief Yaquan was among the Sit
j kas killed.
i Old men of the tribes, it is said, j
j refused to let the hostility die and!
endeavored to keep alive the fires!
| of hatred. With the passing of j
many of the old tribesmen, however,
the younger men, imbued with the!
ideas of modern civilization taught]
them in the government, schools, de
cided they wanted peace.
In 1017, Chief Shaks of the
Wrangclls, opened peace negotia
tions with Jack Yaquan of the Sit
kas. He urged the sending of peace
delegates to Wrangell, where the
proposed, the leaders of the two
clans should heal the old wounds.
So at the close of the fishing sea
son a delegation of Sitkas went to I
Wrangell and, after a week of
"pow-wows" decided to let bygones
be bygones and to abolish the old
customs. Chief Shaks, the father
of the peace move, died before the
meeting was held.
So now there is peace on the
northern waters and islands and the
Sitkas and WrangcIIs will no longer
live in fear of each other. When
out on their hunting and fishing
trips or when laying their winter
trap lines they will visit each other
|and be friends.

work of the Allied airmen. Ii was
