1 The following is practically a j
j literal translation from the Rns-:
;Sian taken from the manuscript |
j of Fr. Gedeon, priest-monk of j
| the Aexandro-Nevsky Cathedral, {
! Moscow, Russia and was written j
; in Kodiak between 1304 and 1807. j
The Gateway Is informed that it:
; has never before appeared in
| print.
Continued from Yesterday
The wives of husbands on par
ties were compelled to dig for sar
ana in the following proportion:
the wives and daughters of those
that go as paddlers for others, not
owning their own bidarkas, had to j
dig four full baskets each; but j
those whose husbands had their |
bidarkas ,such wives were to dig |
two basket fulls, however, the *
daughters had to dig four baskets j'
full. Whenever the berries urere J
ripe, to store for winter use, the i
company compelled the women to !
gather them one basketfull each of j
cranberries and of shiksha; of the j
other berries, such as malina, blue- j
berries, moroshka and kniajenika,;
were gathered according to the
harvest, as much as would be or
dered by the bidarstchik.
Such of them as could not fulfill
the imposed task, owing to poor
health or having nursing babies,
these purchased such from their
friends and delivered them to the
the company. By the end of Sept
ember .when berry picking has
ceased, another task awaits them.
The bird hunters return and the
company distributes their catch at
all the houses as shown above, for
the native wives and daughters to
make up into parkas. In this man
ner, almost the year round, they
are engaged in company work.
When in Kadiak came the in
formation that in 1803 there will be
an expedition around the world,
they began to pay with needles,
beads and small articles and
| then only to those that were near
! St. Paul Harbor and then only for
!
i appearances.
In 1792 the company forbade all
natives in their employ to make
; pork - ■ of sc a otter skins or fox
i skins and gave strict orders thaf j
; if anyone shall wear such gar- J
! ments. these would be forcibly ta-!
| ken off them and taken by the.
company without renumeration. ■
It so happende for this reason, all j
the inhabitants began to v/ear bird- j
skin parkas, which formerly were 1
worn only by the poor and slaves t
(prisoners).
