Kleem-larhfe, of Kispayaks — a close relative of Malee; and Shadows-of- 
trees (Kanawdzenerh) also belongs to Ky®hu or Kwawhadaq, of Giten- 
maks (now Hazelton), another semi-allied household. 
Willits owns two poles, and Trawawq owns one, all three of which 
stand at the southern end of Gitwinlkul village. 
DESCniPTION 
The first of the three poles (Plate XXII, figure 4), over 30 feet high, 
stands at the foot of the declivity, and the Wolf surmounts its top trans- 
versally. Little information could be obtained about these three poles, 
and photographs could be taken only under great difFiculties, owing to the 
avowed hostility of the AVolf clan of Gitwinlkul against white intruders. 
The figures (from the top) are: the Wolf, the zigzag-like Shadows (Kanaw- 
dzenerh); a large human being with body turned backwards— the mythic 
character Eunning-backwards (WudeTi-behah ); a human being; the Wolf 
sitting up with its tail turned up between its legs; a third human being, 
unidentified, at the base near the ground. 
The other pole of Willits, presumably one of the two standing in the 
immediate neighbourhood of the first, could not be observed or photo- 
graphed at close range; and it was impossible to secure other information. 
The pole of Trawawq stands at the end of the row, to the south, and 
is surmounted by a Bear resting horizontally on the head of a human being. 
Under it stand, one above the other, four human beings (Plate XXII, 
figure 5). 
The carvings on the first of these poles is of good quality, and resembles 
the work of some Gitlarhdamks artists, on the upper Nass. The lower 
figure of the Wolf sitting erect, with its tail turned upwards, is analogous 
to that seen on a few totem poles of the upper Nass, in particular that of 
Toq, of Gitlarhdamks, which now stands in the park at Prince Rupert. 
(38) Pole of Haidzemerhs, at Gitwinlkul 
OW^NEKS 
Haidzemerhs and his family belong to the second Wild-rice clan of the 
Wolves, that which traces back its ancestry to Gwee-Saedzan, of the AVild- 
rice tribe ( Gitanrasrh ), at the headwaters of the Skeena near Bear lake. 
More precisely, they arc a subdivision of the family of Hrkwayemtu, 
of Anlarasem-dserh (near Kisgagas). Their relatives abroad are, in con- 
sequence; Kwawhadaq, of Gitenmaks (Hazelton); Hrkwayemtu, of 
Anlarasem-d[Erh; AA^eeraih, of Kisgagas; Nist, of Qaldo; and Gwae’, of 
Gitwinksilk, on the Nass. The Tsetsaut (Sekanais) almost annihilated 
them in a raid, not long ago. 
They own a totem pole at Gitwinlkul. 
DESCRIPTION

opening or Hole-through-the-Sky (WuVnaqaq-larhcB). Its figures are; 
Migrating-wolf (Lurum-keebu),^ head upwards, its tail turned back, and 
iQr Pack-of- Wolves migrating or travelling together; and informant added “moving with baggage."
