| Abstract | Just found out story of how the copper came to Charles Nowell. Involves a Ławitʼsis potlatch, where a "Nass Indian" (Nisga'a) had 3 coppers for sale. A ʼNa̱mǥis chief took one of the largest ones. A man named Morris had to leave suddenly, but left the smallest one to Nowell to try to resell it, but it was viewed as of poor quality by the Indians. Sending sketches of each. (These found now with letter of December 4.) Explains meanings and names of what is painted on them according to the old men. Some names are Heiltsuk. Describes hostilities between Kitkatla and Fort Rupert between 1851-1871. | ||
