Note 25 — STORIES ACCOMPANIED BY TEXTS (continued 2)

Tā′xet’s house was a sky mansion, whither all went who were killed in battle or murdered. This part of the myth has evidently been built up on the apparent identity of his name with that of the salmon above referred to, but the former is from the Tlingit Ta hît, “Sleep house.” Just above Skidegate village and nearly opposite Tree island are two rocks, almost covered at high water. It is said that one who goes between these two will see Tā′xet’s trail. ↑
