Aleutian History
i
J. N. Cannon
The following is practically a literal translation
from the Russian taken from the manuscript of Fr.
Gedeon, priest-monk of the Alexandro-Nevsky Cathe
dral, Moscow, Russia, and was written in Kodiak be
tween 1804 and 1807. It has never before appeared in
print.

Continued from yesterday
Ancient Aleutians had a rare sense
I of form and detail. Most of their
| carvings, particularly the more an
i cient, was very complicated and
i graceful in design. Brooches were
carved in shapes of banner stones,
representing shales’ tails, sea lions,
marine birds, in free flowing ornate
lines, undoubtedly used as magical
symbols by whale hunters. Whale
hunters, as a class, were more su
perstitious than trappers, as will be
shown later on.
There is no need to despair, even
tho’ one cannot sing in Grand
Opera. The pursuit of this talent
requires one to retire to a nice, se
cluded cave, near the sea shore—
which reminds us—the writer takes
great pleasure In presenting the
Swan Song of 68-year-old Vasilisa
Kinuan, cousin of Afanasi, toyon of
Ubaguyik, Sitkinak Island, com
posed on the occasion of the death
of her brother in 1804, and entitled:
“KUZHIGTAGNUTE” (Aleutian)
“We Also Follow After”
“Amchi khvi kenegli; mannya
tugu nuunagitok.
(Why do I cry; this death is
everywhere.)
“Amchi khvi balunegli; mannya
tugu nuunagitok.
(Why do I grieve; this death is
everywhere.)
‘‘Amchi khvi ikanegli; mannya
tugu shuidek.
( (Why do I blacken myself; this
death is in all places.)
! “Ikankutlvu kuzhitaganute t u
I gum nunitey.”
! (We— or I—also follow after)—
; "Kinuan.”
According to Aleutian folklore,
| Kuzhigaganutes, are people who
; lived so far away that no other
i people lived beyond them. This
term was applied to Aleuts living
at Fox and Attu Islands, on the
peninsula.

“Nessum maggior dolore che ri
cordarsi del tempo felice nella mis
eria, senor,” remarked Sonoro Pe
dro, famous Alaskan prospector, as
he quietly left the little town like
this and headed for the tall and un
cut, two days after the election.
''Binks” Seifert, popular local
outdoor sportsman and athlete, has
taken up a new pastime, that of
handball. Last night, in the S. A. C.

KENNETH W. SIMONS, EDITOR OF THE BISMARCK
(N. DAK.) TRIBUNE, SAYS:—
That if everyone just folded up and assured the world
that things were never going to be any better, the end of
the world, so far as most of us are concerned, would be
Just around the corner.
We hear a great deal these days about business turn
ing the corner. The fast is that we make our own corners
and do our own turning, both as individuals and as a nation.
It the first man who ever made a stone axe told him
self it couldn’t be done, man probably would still be eating
berries, herbs and products of the sail instead of meat. If
fear had prevented the first use of fire, mankind still
would inhabit only the tropical countries.
If the man wh o in vented the wheel had told himself it
was an impossible proposition, we would still be carrying
on our backs everything we use.
What everyone needs today, every business man,
preacher, teacher, doctor, lawyer and scribe, is more exer
cise. By that I don’t mean the kind one gets from sitting
and bellyaching, but the kind that has always produced
results in the past.Exercise of whatever God put between
our ears and the exercise of which comes from good work.
We need faith. How can anyone doubt the future of
this country and still call himself a good American? If the
country is going to the dogs either morally, physically or
financially, a lot of us are going to be in tough shape. If
it does go to the dogs, it will be our fault.
