Text Appearing Before Image:
234 THE AMERICAN MUSEUM JOURXAL have put on their ceremonial fh-ess, the face has been painted and the hair dressed with red ocher and birds' down. With drum, rattle and dance staff they take their places in the sterns of the canoes which now follow each other in column until near the village of their host when they form in line abreast and holding gunwale to gmiwale stand in slowly to the shore, the occupants singing and dancing to the accompaniment of the dnmi. When nearing the beach those paddling hold water, the bow and stern men get out the poles and the line of boats is kept in position, while speeches are ex- changed through several hours. With the signal to land the canoes are l)acked around stern first and beached, the villagers rush into the water to greet their friends and carry the party's belongings to the house which has l)een prepared for reception and all is confusion and bustle. In early days the Tlingits had many slaves who paddled the war canoes besides performing all work for their masters. They were not permitted to take part in the ceremonies and were often sacrificed upon the occasion of the potlatch. The group which Mr. Neandross is so skillfully executing represents a Chilcat chief and his followers in ceremonial dress in the war canoe just before landing to attend a potlatch. The dress and materials represented on the figures are all from the North Pacific Coast and in the possession of the American Museum.
