Description |
English: Caption on image: "Indians poling canoe up Dyea River. c1897" "Indians poling canoe up Dyea River. These are Metlakahtla Indians from the mission schools that are four hundred miles below. They have in transit a knock-down boat, the bow of which is a conspicuous feature. They receive two hundred dollars for taking two such boats from the head of canoe navigation to the summit of Chilkoot Pass, about ten miles. Canoes can be readily obtained from the Indians, but it is not advisable to attempt to use them without the assistance of Indians who are familiar with the frail birch-bark vessels. Like many other things ,they are easily maneuvered when properly understood. These canoes can be secured to carry considerable weights." (Frank La roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898)
