ox THE NOKTH-WESTERN TRIBES OF CANADA. G-jl 



K''oa'l;i : Qua'dos. Chief: tleii'ls. Crests: Bear, killer whale, hawk, 

 I'ainbow, stratus. The Sd'EugE la'nas are considered a 

 branch of the Qua'dos, who are at present in Asegoa'n, 

 Alaska. It is said that the Qua'dos were in the habit of 

 catching eagles in snares. One day a man caught a hawk 

 in his snare. Another one stole it, leaving, however, 

 one of the hawk's talons. This led to a quarrel, and a 

 fight ensued , during which the family divided. Those who 

 emigrated became the Stl'EngE la'nas. For this reason 

 both use the hawk and also the same personal names.
