(IN THE LAND OF TOTEMS. AMONG THE KWAKIUTL, TSIMSHIAN AND TLINGIT INDIANS - BRITISH COLUMBIA AND SOUTH-ESTEARN ALASKA -). The Author here outlines a picture of the culture of the so-called "Totem Indians", who live in the North-West areas of Northern America, along the coasts of the Pacific, or of those of some interior rivers. He repeats his own direct experience of curious traveller (and anthropologist) in visiting some of those communities, perhaps among the more interesting of that "unique" cultural group. So, starting from the northern area of the great Island of Vancouver, he introduces the reader, step-by-step, in the fascinating world of the famous Kwakiutl. These Indians, totem builders and carvers, are world-wide known for their extraordinary potlatchs. "Great Feasts" in which were consumed and/or destroyed, in a very short time, several kinds of goods (and once were killed slaves, too) in an extraordinary, enormous quantity, by the chief and his clan. The Kwakiutl Indians are well-known also to the public, because some of the Masters of Ethnology and Anthropology, like the americans Franz Boas and Ruth Benedict, who rightly belong to the History of Anthropology, have extensively and seminally written about them. Their books have been (and still are today, especially Benedicts's "Patterns of Culture") great best sellers. From Vancouver Island, and the " visits" to the Kwakiutl Wewayakay and Nimpkish bands of Cape Mudge and Alert Bay (British Columbia), after a short interlude with the Tsimshian of Prince Rupert, in the North, he leaves definitely Canada, entering into South-Eastern Alaska, the beautiful land of the Tlingit. This region was once Russian America, and here there was their Capital, Novo Arkangelsk, today called Sitka (from the ethnic name of the local Tlingit band) in the Baranov Island. The Tlingit have been, besides, the only Indian group who tried to defend their own land from the Europeans hands, in their way, bloodely fighting with spears and long knives against their powerful ennemies. So, travelling by sea within the historical Inside Passage, the A. starts his Alaskan cultural approach first in the town of Ketchikan, followed by those of Wrangell and Sitka, where the voyage will end. And here, in this part of Alaska which doesn't at all falls within the cliché of Arctic Alaska (the continental-one further north), the Land of the Eskimos, and of old Gold Rushes, he will have the chance to see, curious as ever, other places, other cultures, other villages: where Tlingit lived and live today, and to admire their fascinating ethnographic objects, in the open, and in museums or "long houses". Big or small objects that are really, and for ever, truly pieces of arts, and for their quality are readable and understandable by all peoples, being universal...)
