The birth of this child was particularly important to the couple. A few years earlier, they had been living at Dyea on the coast with their four young children. The epidemics of dysentry, smallpox and jaundice which swept through communities on the Pacific northwest coast reached Dyea late in the last century and within a few years all four children were infected and died, leaving their parents bewildered and childless. This infant and her older brother Johnnie were the beginning of a second family. The new baby was given a Tlingit name (Stôow), a Tagish name (Ch * oonehte * Màa) and the English name Angela because a prospector visiting the night of her birth exclaimed to Tagish John that his new baby daughter looked just like an angel.

  • Keish's Story First Nations People Have Been at Home in the Yukon For
    Keish’s Story First Nations people have been at home in the Yukon for many thousands of years, and have played an important role in the territory’s history. By many accounts, the Bonanza discovery was made by a man from the Tagish First Nation. Stories from the First Nations community about the discovery of gold emphasize the family relations and responsibilities among the characters in the story, rather than the quest for gold. The Tagish man who is said to have found gold in Bonanza Creek was named Keish. English speakers called him “Skookum Jim” because of his legendary strength. (Skookum means strong in the Chinook dialect.) He once carried 156 pounds of bacon on his back over the Chilkoot Pass! Kiesh’s sister, Shaaw Tláa, was married to a non-native man named George Carmack who called her Kate. Two years before the gold strike on Bonanza, Shaaw Tláa and George Carmack left her home in the southern Yukon and went down the Yukon River to look for gold. The year before, one of her sisters had gone down river with her husband also to look for gold. When the family did not hear from either sister for two years, they began to worry. Keish was their only brother, and it was his responsibility to make sure Shaaw Tláa and her sister were alive and well. He decided to go down river himself to find out what had happened to them. Two of his nephews, Káa Goox (also called Dawson Charlie), and Koołseen (also called Patsy Henderson) went with him.

Download date 01/10/2021 03:33:58 Link to Item http://hdl.handle.net/11122/7874 ALASKA SOURDOUGH: BREAD, BEARDS AND YEAST By Susannah T. Dowds, B.A. A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of the Arts in Northern Studies University of Alaska Fairbanks August 2017 APPROVED: Terrence Cole, Committee Chair Mary Ehrlander, Committee Member Director of Arctic and Northern Studies Molly Lee, Committee Member Todd Sherman Dean of the College of Liberal Arts Michael Castellini Dean of the Graduate School Abstract Sourdough is a fermented mixture of flour and water used around the world to leaven dough. In this doughy world wide web of sourdough, one thread leads to Alaska and the Yukon Territory. Commonly associated with the gold rush era, sourdough is known both as a pioneer food and as a title for a long-time resident. Less well known is the live culture of microbes, yeasts and bacteria that were responsible for creating the ferment for nutritious bread, pancakes, and biscuits on the trail. Through the lens of sourdough, this study investigates the intersection of microbes and human culture: how microbes contribute taste and texture to baked goods; why sourdough, made from imported ingredients, became a traditional food in the North; and how “Sourdough” grew to signify an experienced northerner. A review of research about sourdough microflora, coupled with excerpts from archival sources, illuminates how human and microbial cultures intertwined to make sourdough an everyday food in isolated communities and mining camps.
