WHITE MAN
TOO MUCH FOB
SIWASH CHIEF
Following a big celebration of In- j
dians near Pouglas which resulfe*l in |
several court cases, the following ap
peared in the Duoglas Island News, i
and includes comment on the Indians^
opinion of the white man as gathered
in by the Stroller:
"Kin gic turn lu icfu tre bif da zee;
kuk hell op li ge bum oi dac yi klu gi;
jum nut dre woe ipsu.’ (One rone-:
gado white man can raise more hell [
among my people in two hours than
a dozen missionaires can stamp out
in a year.)
The foregoing is what the Mroiler j
heard one morning last week just as
he emerged from the police court
where half a dozen or more Indians, j
both sexes being represented, had
been tried anil convicted on the charge
of drunkenness. The speaker, an
Indian who wears a full beard, is a
familiar figure on the streets *>!
Houglas. He is not given to much
speech but on the occasion mentioned
his heart appeared to be so fu i oi
resentment ami disgust v ita what ho;
h;.U just w itnessed in t.t * court room I
t* at he could not conceal his feelings.,
The Stroller, seeing tiia: the old-man!
wu > disposed to talk, encouraged him
ar.d the result was v. '.at follows.
I; ckily the Stroller untie stands ami
readily translates ail Indian lang
uages spoken ironi Mary Island to
Point Barrow, either by way of the
coast or the Yukon river. Of course,
the old man, who is .now 114 years ot
age, spoke his tribal tongue which the
Stroller recorded in short hand, a li
teral translation being as follows:
“Three score anti ten snows have
been upon me since first mine eyes be
held a white man. 1 was then 44
years of age ami wholly free from
guile although always possessed ot
an observing nature. Since that time
1 have developed much ot my time to
the study of the white nun and his
ways and 1 must >ay that he is a
curious combination. He mixes me;
yea. he perplexes me.
i_ it .
“One white man come aioug.
say unless Indian forsake Indian ways
and become like white man, I mi'an
bump up against eternal contlagni
tion. whatever that is. Another v>b to
man come along and give Indian but
tle. Indian drink from bottle, whoop
ee, go to wigwam to lick squaw and
t;nd white man there ahead of Kim.
Skuaw go whoop-ee too. Next morn
ing heap big head, mouth ’eel like
dead gopher. Then Indian taiien to
skookum house. Tyee judge send him
back ten days, two weeks, maybe
longer. Then first man come to s* e
Indian in skookum house, sing Tu»l
• for ehore, brother* when there ain’t no
shore and no boat in sight. Indian
goes home and is good till second
white man come with more firewater.
Same thing happens. Indian goes
whoop-ee some more and goes to
skookum house.
“First white man come again and
tell Indian to sing ‘Happy Day.’ In
dian sing but he ain’t happy. Bc'or#
white man come, Indian all right at
four score snows. Now his stom.uh
is all shot to pieces and motheaten at *
thirty. White man smile at squaw,
squaw grin for a week and give buck
glassy stare. One white man repairs
Indian’s soul, another gives him dope
that cats all the copper lining off Ids
stomach.
“One tells him to raise his voice in
prayer, the. other gives him some
thing that makes him raise hell. One
gives him spiritual consolation, the
other sells him liquid damnation.
One teaches him to sing ‘f want 'o
he an angel and with the angels
stand.’ While the other tea Vs him
to sing ‘Here’s to the good old stuff,
drink *er down.* White man too much
for me. Sorry I ever see him.”
