TAKU INDIANS
WILL NOT HUNT
ON LOWER RIVER
_ I
Give Up “Hereditary Rights
to Kill Game in Favor
of Sightseers.
Giving up their “heredttiry rights”
to kill moose on the lower flats of
the Taku river the Indians of that
district have ■ Voluntarily put on a |
reserve among themselves on the I
lower river, that the game might
roam free for the benefit of sight-1
seers who fenjoy the beauties andj
life of nature but are unable to un-j
dertake travel of any hardship toj
And then!. The Indians conceived the!
idea of reserving the game on the|
lower river this summer when they'
observed the pleasure derived by I
the many parties of tourists who
have made trips to the mouth of the
Taku, going into the flats for a sight
of moose, or waiting patiently with
glasses for a sight of goat on the
hills and bear on the creeks.
The flats on the lower river are
claimed by Jimmy Fox and Henry
Stevens of the Taku tribe, who re-J
side at Dqyiglas. as their property
through hereditary ownership, and
they have offered to make camp in
new country while they secure their
winter's supply of meat that “their
land’ might be a natural park for
visitors.
The upper river country Is the
best hunting district ,the Indians
say. It is a wilder country and in j
it a wilder game which makes thel
necessity to kill for food a harder j
tight and tliure worth the while, for j
the game of the .jower river is becom
ing tame they siy, and it is no sport
to kill.
Up the Tulsequeh river and at
the boundary line are two of the j
best hunting districts according to J
the Indians. There is more fight
and sport in getting up river and the
game has been Uttle hunted.
Next Sunday August 20, the big
game hunting season for this year
will bo open. Parties are being form
ed In Junean to spend several days
on hunting, expeditions and it is
understood a number will go to the
upper Taku river for moose and goat.
