Description |
Transcribed from front of postcard: "Chinook Jargon. Klosh mika chako kopa Seattle tenas alt-ki warm moon. Nesika-mamook-hyas-Potlatch pe hy-iu hee-hee. Nesika delate tikky mika chako pe mitlite knomoxt nesika. Klosh mika wah-way-kopa-konoway-huloyma-tilikum. Translation. It will be good for you to come to Seattle a little later in the summer. We are going to give a big Potlatch and have lots of fun. We very much want you to come and stay with us. Please pass the word along dear friend." Transcribed from back of postcard: "The word "Potlatch" is from the Chinook Jargon, the trade language of the North Pacific Coast Indians. It means a gift or to give. In a larger sense the Indians applied it to a great festival at which gifts were made. Seattle's Golden Potlatch will be a great festival in celebration of the gift of gold by Alaska to the world through this City, the gateway of the Northern Empire. It will be a week of carnival and jollity. The opening date, July 17th, is the anniversary of the arrival of the first treasure ship."
