SAYS SCIENTIST
NONE OF THE l^EGENDS HEARD
BY DR. SHOTRIDGE, REFERR
ED TO NORTH
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 12. (^—Al
aska Indians originated South around
Puget Sound, and not from Siberia, is
the belief of Dr. Louis Shot-ridge, as
sistant in the American Section Mus
eum of the University of Pennsylva
nia. Shotridge who is a member of
the Chilkat Indian tribe, native to part
of Alaska along the coast, returned
from a five year expedition to Alaska
and brought back many ancient ob
jects including war bonnets, ceremon
ial mats, and house screens some 800
years old.
“After studying the Indians in Alas
ka for five years and living with them
and listening to their legends, I came
to the conclusion Alaska Indians came
from the South around" Puget Sound.
I do not believe the theory they came
across a strip of land, now Bering
Straits, because all Indian legends are
from the South and I did not find any
of the legends even alluded to the
North.” He believes the Chilkat and
Navajo tribes are related as many of
their words and language is similar.

good specimens were taken for the
