For the last two summers Mrs. Paul has been doing research work, under assignment from the Inter ior Department and the manu scripts are the result of this work. During the summer of 1941 she did research work on the subject of Thlinget basketry on which she completed and illustrated a manu script which has been accepted for publication by the Department of the Interior, though publication has been postponed due to the war. Totem Poles Recently Mrs. Paul completed a manuscript on Totems of South east Alaska, including their his tory and methods of carving which is now in the hands of the Depart ment of Education of the Office of Indian Affairs, together with col orful illustrations of the various types and designs of totems. Mrs. Paul made an exhaustive study of the totems and totem lore during the : past summer and but recently completed the manuscript which will, be a valuable addition to the study of this fascinating subject. Purpose of the manuscript is to be used as a means of represent ing the best and most authentic history of the Totem, according to i Virgil Farrell, Director of the De i partment of Education. Preceding the main body of the manuscript is a foreword which gives a complete background of the Ipart the Totems played in the lives | of Indians in the Totem Pole dis | trict which extends from the Co lumbia River to Cape St. Elias. In the foreword. Mrs. Paul points out the effect of topography of this country on the habits, appearance j and culture of the Indians, parti cularly the Thlingets, Haidas and j Tsimshians of Southeast Alaska. I She included in the foreword an ! explanation of the significance of the Totem which, she points out, was never religious. She also ex i plains* the division of sub-crests, the importance the phatries, or family lines played in the totem lore and the method in which carv ing was done. Concluding the foreword, Mrs. Paul wrote, ‘the decline of aborigi nal culture and the adoption of white man's civilization is shown most clearly by the cooperation of fered by old people among the tribes, in the project of the US. Forest Service for the rehabilita tion of old totem poles and com munal houses' which is not in accordance with the old customs. NO, NO, NO!
