QUEEN VICTORIA
STILL ALIVE TO
ARCTIC TRIBE
U. S. Citizens, I hey Hold
Fealty to Britain -Calen
dar Still 1664.
_
DAWSON, Y. T„ Ki 'i. 3.—In th?
Arctic village of M-usmikuk. 150 miles
north of Fort Yukon, a tribe of
I Indians who are still pr ...yiag for the
' health and happiness of Queen Vic
toria and using a- Bible translated
into their language in ISfil.
Since Archdeacon McDonald, the
pioneer Yukon and Mackenzie mis
iionary of the Church of England,
I learned th-' Yukon Indian language
and translated the Bible into that
, dialect, there have been few, if any,
■ whites in Mtisroikuk tv a > spoke theic
'aaguage, and conaequenitly they are
, living politically in tin middle of
I the 19th century.
Are U. S. Citizens
They are citizens of the > United
; States, these Indians who pray for
j i dead British ruler and who pro
■ !'c?s a British creed. The late Arch
il deacon Stuck, it is said, tried on
j one of his rare visits to persuade the
tribe that changed -boundary lines
'had made it necessary that they
i pray for i!ie executive head of the
■ United States.
Perhaps the archdeacon could not
: speak their language well enough,
because recent reports have it that
they still pray for Queen Victoria.
Have Gifts Ready
They came again to public notice
'when they inquired the name of the
! Anglican bishops of their diocese In
| order that they might send gifts to
, tlhe bishop. When they found that
‘l Bishop Rowe of tiie Episcopal Church
; in Alaska and not the nearest A.igli
Ican bishop, Right Rev. I. O. Stringer
lot the Yukon, was their ecclesiastical
, head, they decided to send gifts to
both.
I Tiie gifts will take the form of
skins of a new species of mountain
sheep recently killed at the foot of
the Arctic range at the head-waters
of the Chandelar River. The new
sheep have straight horns ami red
striping on the back, and are not
I quite like anything seen here before.
