Description: Originally recorded on wire recording, Nootka and Makah Spool #2. Transferred to reel-to-reel tape by the Library of Congress for APS in 1970.; For transcription and partial translation of story see Morris Swadesh, "Makah Field Notes, 1949," in the ACLS Collection (Mss.497.3.B63c Item W2c.2). Story summarized in field notes as follows: "Charlie Swan age about 62 remembers has been present at tribal councils. In the old days, he says, the chiefs would come together to decide things. They did not call the common people. After they had decided everything, they would call all the people together and let them know what they had to do. Once (about 1900) an Indian inspector came. He had them call everybody together. He told them, thru the interpreter--Chistoka Peterson, Charlie's father--that he came from their father in Washington, that he would pass along anything they wanted to their father in Washington. The chiefs spoke in order of rank. They spoke about fishing rights and other matters. After the chiefs had spoken, a few other people also spoke."
