In the Smithsonian’s 1888 annual report, a writer described “…the grave of Chief Shustack, on Shustack Point, at the south entrance to Wrangell Anchorage, directly opposite the town. It represents a form of aerial sepulture, in that the remains are not actually buried in the ground, but remain above the surface enclosed in a box.” (image credit: Alaska State Library) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/09a65b9b-2228-46c5-a86e-be867f81cae8/beaver-shustack-location.gif Blog - Beaver Totem Pole - Make it stand out ANIMATION.

This is one of the last photographs of the Kadashan totem poles in this spot. The caption reads, “Pair of ancient totem landmarks in front of Chief Kadashan’s hut at Wrangell, Alaska, one recounting the family’s lineage and the other being a conventional story of creation.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/51035371-d0a4-46f4-853c-64de143fcab2/kadashan-003-crowd.png Blog - Kadashan Totem Poles - Make it stand out in 1926, the Kadashan Totem Poles were removed from their location in front of Kadashan’s house, and the house was demolished not long later. The sawmill had expanded to such a point that it was no longer practical to keep a house there, and the risk of fire from the home spreading to the sawmill was too great. The May 13, 1926 Wrangell Sentinel wrote, “These relics were very carefully lowered from their positions, placed on trucks and moved to sheltered quarters where they were carefully diagnosed and reconstructed—technically called surgery—wherever toes, wings, noses, or other conventional features were needed; they were then given a generous coating of Portland cement to preserve and bring out the lineaments; and finally, the mythological figures were painted in characteristic colors.” (image source: Book of Pictures of “The Last Frontier,” With Cartoons and Alaska Oddities, 1941) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/310bf8a0-8539-41d8-851b-7febdba70abf/kadashan-031.png Blog - Kadashan Totem Poles - Make it stand out The new location of the Kadashan Totem Poles put them in line with the Kiks.ádi Totem Pole, a short distance to the north.

He wrote in her book, "Over the graves of the dead, which are square log boxes or houses, they put full-length representations of the dead man’s totemic beast, or smooth poles finished at the top with the family crest. One old chief’s tomb at Fort Wrangel has a very realistic whale on its moss-grown roof, another a bear, and another an otter.” Scidmore may have mistaken the wolf for a bear. She published this illustration in her book, Alaska, Its Southern Coast and the Sitkan Archipelago.

That year, Raymond & Whitcomb published Two Grand Summer Tours to Alaska, “In addition to the totem poles in front of the habitations in Wrangel, there are some curiously marked graves, one being surmounted by a huge carving of a wolf.

By the 1920s, the sawmill operation expanded to completely surround Kadashan’s home with boards of timber.

This hideous face decoration is peculiar to the Alaska Indians.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/005da06b-936e-4992-b16b-e0e53d5b4692/emmons-labret-drawing.png Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Make it stand out An illustration of lip labrets by George Thornton Emmons from his book, The Tlingit Indians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/1753577069861-GXIAL5H0TXDWERJKDJSQ/The_Leader_Post_1922_08_26_28.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Leader-Post (Aug 26, 1922) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/1753577070599-S0EPETEODJD8XP1EPO9A/Evening_Public_Ledger_1922_08_19_Page_22.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Evening Public Ledger (Aug 19, 1922) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/1753577080876-BAYOZENDO1WECQWC80MS/The_Ithaca_Journal_1922_09_02_Page_13.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Ithaca Journal (Sep 2, 1922) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/1753577081868-V9HO21MCMEBDL4V9PDQH/Nashville_Banner_1923_04_01_53.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Nashville Banner (Apr 1, 1923) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/1753578640120-6ZQ54Q0QGOKIEY9D5DK6/Detroit_Free_Press_1922_09_10_114.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Detriot Free Press (Sep 10, 1922) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/f8af2996-fca6-4637-a712-66e0a54308f1/1996-strange-stories-cover.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/8cfeee0e-cab7-4606-9d0a-2fa19111898c/Skak-Ish-Tin-Stoddard-2.jpg Blog - The Eyes of Skak-Ish-Tin - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.wrangellhistoryunlocked.com/blog/pillsbury monthly 0.5 2026-03-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/448fc7d1-bc3b-4485-890c-260649d15996/pillsbury-portrait.png Blog - Time Capsule: A.C.

Partridge ran an advertisement for his extensive catalogue of “Alaska views,” including fifteen images from Fort Wrangel. Among the list was “7876 - Indian graves, Fort Wrangel—the whale and the wolf” followed by “7760 - Ditto.” (image source: DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/8437cbc7-4dd7-495f-938f-4b8a614f3728/killerwhale-partridge02.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out This photograph, “7760” by Partridge shows that both totem carvings are still complete with all pieces attached, but the wood shows areas where paint has worn away. A thin layer of moss covers most of the Wolf Grave Totem, while the Killer Whale Grave Totem shows much less moss.

The scene’s unique perspective is from over the water, showing the carvings rising up above the coastline below. According to the book, “At Fort Wrangell the tourist finds the largest assemblage of totem poles and two remarkable graves, one surmounted by a rudely carved whale, and the other by a huge figure of a wolf. The totem poles serves as emblems of the clans or family divisions of the various tribes.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/b2e71246-4066-41c8-8c82-3640d6172341/killerwhale-1889-bc-archives.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out A group of men (circa 1889) stand in front of the grave totems, while one man places his hand on the mouth of the Killer Whale Grave Totem. Throughout their existence, people would approach, touch, and be photographed with these carvings. The inscription on the photograph reads, “Indian Town, Fort Wrangle, Alaska. Peterson Bro’s Photo’s, Juneau, Alaska.” (image source: British Columbia Archives) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/f13f8165-4e39-4143-8724-417fdbf7e2c9/San_Francisco_Chronicle_Sun__Mar_23__1890_.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/cad99057-4a69-4a10-98bd-9b7fe58f9ba5/killerwhale-1886-1890.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out This is one of the last known photographs of these two grave totems together. In the background, a new building appears that was not present in earlier photographs. We can use this building to pinpoint the historic location of these two carvings.

Using the height of the Kiks.ádi pole (32 feet) as a measuring tool, we can estimate that the house stood roughly 256 feet from the Kiks.ádi pole. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/adb91a65-5955-4cee-b345-e22c2a7f71b2/killerwhale-sanborn-map.png Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out Using this 1914 map (foreground) of Wrangell by the Sanborn Fire Company, wen can identify that the building constructed behind the Killer Whale and Wolf Grave Totems was this (circled in red). By superimposing the 1914 map over a modern-day satellite image, we can see that the building used to stand in the southern half of the Sentry Hardware & Marine parking lot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/6a278fc3-92dc-4df6-b180-ae4bafdaf38f/killerwhale-1900.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out (image source: Wikipedia Commons) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/184d8c27-dd23-454e-b8ca-0ef4f86d1f75/killerwhale-view.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/765ae1ce-8f75-4de0-9c82-baa015c46295/killerwhale-courtyard.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60fdaa5db261fb0458fc6e45/677a86b9-f8c2-4a50-a4a2-3a0504b33e68/killerwhale-1904-uw.jpg Blog - Killer Whale Grave Totem - Make it stand out August 14, 1904.
