PLATE 167<br />

Kwackqwan memorial image. This image, 15 inches high, represents a man who was killed about 1891 at Icy Bay by a falling tree which<br />

pinned him to the ground. His body was found because someone noticed crows pecking at something. The image of the man with the<br />

body of an Owl, perched on a Crow (or Raven?), was carved from the wood of the tree that killed him. The image was placed on the<br />

table at each of several feasts given in his memorj'-, a new ribbon being put on it on each occasion. The figure is painted blue-green,<br />

vermillion, white, and black, with human hair. It was originally obtained by W. J. Carruthers in 1936 from Billy Jackson, K'^ackqwan<br />

(PAM 48.3.354; cf, Davis, 1949, pi. v in color).<br />
