Stripes, declared it to be "an American." 

 Growing to manhood with the tradition 

 of liis christening upon liim, Struck-by- 

 the-Ree took great pride in his "Ameri- 

 canism," and was always a staunch 

 friend of the whites. His greatest serv- 

 ice was in 1862, during the time of the 

 panic due to the outbreak and massacre 

 in Minnesota, when, by his influence, he 

 kept his tribe from joining the hostiles 

 and actually threw a cordon of his war- 

 riors across South Dakota from Ft Ran- 

 dall to the Sioux as a barrier between 

 the hostiles and the white settlements. 

 He died July 29, 1888. (d. r. )

Stustas (Sta^stas) . One of the most im- 

 portant Haida families of the Eagle clan. 

 The name is that given to salmon eggs 

 after the young fish have begun to take 

 form in them. There is a story that this 

 family was once reduced to a single 

 woman, but subsequently increased very 

 rapidly from her children; for that reason 

 they were likened to spawning salmon. 

 The family is known also as Sd'ngaL- 

 Wnas, referring to sea-birds called sang; 

 when these birds find any food on the 

 surface of the sea, all swoop down upon 

 it, making a great noise, and their actions 

 are likened to those of people at pot-
