Scope and content
This file has an article entitled, A Euclataw Chief, by E. F. Meade. It examines the life of Chief Billy Assu of the Cape Mudge band of the Kwakiutl, who died in February 1965. The article further delves into the origin of the Wiwekae band. They were known previously as the Lekwiltok people and since the 1860s, have been called Euclataw. The Lekwiltok were the southernmost branch of the Kwakiutl-speaking people whose territory extended from the northeastern part of Vancouver Island to the Nuxalk (Bella Coola) country on the mainland.
