G���â'sag*ila - Kwakiutl
Tradition of the Na'k!wax*da?xu.
G���â'sag*ila was a chief who had many carvings. He came from the south. He put them up when he reached the north country. He went to Gwa'w���ê in the country of the Na'k!wax*da?xu, and there he staid. There he made a winter-dance, and his son became a cannibal, whose names were Q!���â'sEl���îdzas, Ha?m���êk*!���â'lag*il���îs, Ts!���â'x���ôst���âla. This son's son was K*!���ô'gwik���îlagEm���ê?, whose son was Q!u'mqwax*���â'lasEm���ê?.
