Skittagetan Family. The name applied 

 to a linguistic family composed of the 

 Indians usually known as Haida (q. v.). 

 It was taken from Sge'daglts, a name of 

 one of the Haida town chiefs, which 

 seems to mean ' son of the chiton' [mol- 

 lusk]. This was first erroneously applied 

 to the town of Hlgagilda, of which he was 

 head chief, and later, under the form 

 Skittagets (see Skidegate), was applied by 

 Gallatin to the people speaking this lan- 

 guage, whence it was adopted by Powell.
