Note 283 — Chapter I · TOTEMIC BELIEFS The Totem as Name and as Emblem
Joseph Ward Swain translation
Krause, op. cit., p. 230; Swanton, Haida, pp. 129, 135 ff.; Schoolcraft, op. cit., I, pp. 52-53, 337, 356. In the latter case the totem is represented upside down, in sign of mourning. Similar usages are found among the Creek (C. Swan, in Schoolcraft, V, p. 265) and the Delaware (Heckewelder, An Account of the History, Manners and Customs of the Indian Nations who once inhabited Pennsylvania, pp. 246-247).
