Note 35 — Sacred-one-standing-and-moving, Stone-ribs, and Upward

Skedans is one of the few towns prominent in Haida story that have been occupied in recent times. It stood on a tongue of land at the northeastern end of Louise island. The name is a white corruption of the chief’s name. By the people themselves it was called Qꜝō′na, or Grizzly-bear town. Seaward from the site are several islands and reefs, of which Island-that-wheels-around-with-the-current (Dalgā′-ił­gałgîñ) is the closest in and Farthest-one-out (Ga-ig̣oqꜝā′-idjūsg̣as) the outermost. ↑ a b c d e
