Koetas {QJoe^tas, ' earth -eaters' ). A 

 family of the Raven clan belonging to the 

 Kaigani or Alaskan branch of Haida. 

 According to the southern Haida they 

 derived their name from the fact that 

 in a legendar}^ Haida town whence all 

 the Ravens came (see Tadji-lnnns) they 

 used to live near the trails. The Kai- 

 gani themselves, however, say that when 

 they first settled at Hlgan, on the w. 

 coast of Graham id., they were called, 

 from the town, Hlun-staa-lanas {-H-Ati 

 sta^a Wnas, * holding-up-the-fin-town- 

 people ' ) . Afterward they began to cook 

 and eat a plant called hlkunit (iklu'nit) 

 which grows under the salmon-berry 

 bushes. Some of them then joked at 

 this, saying, "We are even eating earth," 

 hence the name Koetas. On the Alaska 

 mainland their town was Sukkwan. 

 There were 5 subdivisions: Chats-hadai, 

 Huadjinaas-hadai, Nakalas-hadai, Hlka- 

 onedis, and Naden-hadai. (.i. r. s. )
