"granddad was a legislator.  he used to come off

his salmon boat an' live with us while

the legislature was in session.  the term

would start in january an' run to mid-april,

just in time for him to get back to his nets

in clarence strait.  the city boys used to say

he looked like an eel.  an' that he had fish scales

in his hair.

 

"but the cityboys came an' went an' one day grandpa

was speaker of the house.  an' no one said he

looked like an eel.  an' no one said he had

fish scales in his hair.  an' all the cityboys came

down to metlakatla

an' said they'd always

liked fish."
