412 THE TLINGIT INDIANS [eth. axx. 2G 



said to liave come, from the Wut-eA'niiia, a clan at Kasaan, Mhich is 

 perhaps identical with the Yii'dAs, a StA'stas In-aiich liviiig at that place. 

 It is not a little curious that a Raven group among the Tlingit should 

 have come from an Eagle group among the Haida. On their way to 

 Wrangell these people stopped for a long time at a place called 

 Kasqle'k", from which they received their present name. 



The S!it!qoe'di are said to be ''old Alaskans" and intermarry nuich 

 with the Taku people to the north. 



The Yenyc'di of Taku had close relations with the Nanyaa'yi, and the 

 latter, who are said to have come from the same place, may formei-ly 

 have constituted one clan with them. The Tsatlenye'di are named 

 from a creek on Admiralty island. The old Taku village was at the 

 head of Taku harbor, but later the Taku formed another on the 

 north side of the entrance to Taku inlet, and in recent years have 

 resorted a great deal to Juneau. 



At Auk (Tlingit, Ak!", little lake) the principal clan was the Llene'di, 

 to whom the story of the Lle'nAxxI'dAq (property woman) is always 

 traced. Some of the Wucketa'n also lived with them, although their 

 place of origin seems to have been Hutsnuwu or Huna. An old man 

 at Sitka seemed to think that the Wucketa'n had come from KAq Iauuwu' 

 along with the Ka'gwAntan and other Eagle clans, but the fact that 

 they possess the same principal crest as the DAqLlawe'di, the killer 

 whale, suggests an affinity with that clan. The old Auk village 

 A'ntcgAltsu (abandoned town) was situated at Point Louisa, north of 

 Douglas island, and the modern town of Juneau is in their territory. 



Anciently the Hutsnuwu (Xutslnuwu', grizzh'-bear fort) people 

 or Xu'tslidaqoan (which means the same thing) occupied two diflerent 

 towns on the west coast of Admiralty island. The more southern, 

 called NAltu'ck-an, was in White Water bay, and the northern, 

 Angu'n, on the coast above modern Killisnoo where the whites had 

 established canneries and whither the inhabitants of l)oth of these 

 towns have now removed. The two Raven groups living here, the 

 De'citan and Anqla'kitan, ai"e said to have separated at some former 

 time on account of internal disturbances. Their names, which are 

 simply derived from those of houses, lead one to susjiect that further 

 investigation woidd show them to be parts of some other Raven 

 group. According to Krause, the Anqla'ketan and Te'qoedi lived at 

 NAltu'ck-an and the De'citan, Wuckita'n and DAciL.'awe'di at Angu'n. 

 Part of the Hutsnuwu people were called Asfi'idiliqoan, but these 

 appear to have formed a local rather than a clan group. 



With two possil)le exceptions the remaining Tlingit clans to be con- 

 sidered fall into two groups, associated iiistorically with certain dis- 

 tinct regions. One of these is Wolf, and comprises the Ka'gwAntrin, 

 of which the Kuk hit tan is a part, the IvAtagwA'di and the TcukAne'di; 

 the other the Luqa'xAdi, Nucekaa'yi, LlidvInaxA'di, Q.'Atkaa'yi, and
