June 7, 1938. förts. Dear Chief Lone Eagle: In olden times before white mmn,spoiled the Indians here, every chief had some kind of a token or some sign or "coat of arms". For instance, the Quillayute Tribe belonged to the Raven Clan so their chief adopted the raven as their principal sign. According to old Indian Folk Tore the Raven represents the Great Spirit or their God and when they have hihi with them they are successful; good, and strong. So I am sending to you by your illustrious brother, H.R.H. Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf, a coat of arms that I secured from an old indian who be- longed to the Raven Clan. Please glue it together the way it was. I know you will say that this is not worth having but let me tell you it was hard to get from ,the old Indian because it was an old family relique. Now I will explain to you what some of the figures represent. The stand it is fastened to represents a The frog lives on land and water and the Indians get their living from both land and water. The next figure the Indians call "Was-co" which is the evil spirit that is temptin the Indien to do wrong. The next figure is a wolf representing treachery and deceit and is a warnin to the Indian to be on his guard. The next figure is the Raven bird representing the Great good Spirit that created this earth and everything on it and the one who heips the Indians to overcome their enemies and their trouble.
