Description |
English: Two unpainted Tlingit totem poles flanking the stairs leading up to a large two-story home at Wrangell, Alaska. Same poles may be seen in NA2092, NA2181, NA2541, NA2527, NA2177 On verso of image: Chief Kadashan's [Katashan] House Filed in Native Alaska--DwellingsThe following is a quote from the Alaskan, a Sitka newspaper, dated July 23, 1887: "An Indian named Kadashan is having built a two-story residence on the site of his old house, with two sets of bay windows above and below. The building is a frame one covered with rustic with building paper under it. It will be finished inside with lumber and looks as if it will be one of the nicest in the country. Beat that if you can." This was the new home of Chief Kadashan, whose totem poles until recently stood on Wrangell’s main street, where they had been placed after removal from their original site on the beach near the sawmill. Duplicates of these poles are now standing on Shakes Island. [Source: Monuments in Cedar web site: http://www.alaskool.org/projects/traditionalife/MonumentsInCedar/MIC_two.htm
