Soon after purchasing Alaska from Russia in 1867, Secretary of State William H. Seward visited the State and village of Ketchikan. The Native Tlingit people held a potlatch honoring him and showered him with gifts. Secretary Seward nor his people were not aware of the Native Custom of the one so honored returning gifts of similar value to his host. A totem pole was soon constructed and erected as a further monument to him. However, even after learning of the Native Custom and vowing to return with gifts, he never did. The Native people discolored the face of his totem pole image as a sign of his "stinginess". That is the story we were told when we visited the site in 1989 and were told that it would continue to be discolored until a direct decedent of Seward's could make "recompense". Ironically, a Women's Club meeting was held in Seward soon after we got home and one of the speakers was a Mrs. Seward from the Friend/Exeter area. I contacted her and found that her husband was a direct decedent of the Secretary. I also took on a new job in Ankeny, IA and through it, was able to develop a relationship with an individual in the local Governor's office. He even went so far as to visit with the local Native Leaders and learned that a Potlatch would need to be held and gifts such as blankets could be given to the local leaders. We needed financing and leadership to clear up the long standing misunderstand but they were not to come forth. I lost my local support for financing and had health problems at the time that kept me from further activity. The project went dormant but it's still there today.
