		The [Dakota] Indians believed that some stones possessed the power of locomotion or were moved by some invisible, supernatural power; and intelligent men affirmed that they had seen stones which had moved some distance on level ground, leaving a track or furrow behind them.
		To the Dakota the tint or blue of the sky is all that humankind can see of Taku Skan Skan, the spirit that is everywhere that is the god of movement symbolized by stones or granite boulders painted red.
		The Dakota visited the stone to gain favor and gather power from the in-dwelling spirit by painting it and leaving offeriings to add to their own power and to secure success in their war and hunting expeditions (Hobart).

	bigfoot.htm
		The Sioux Indians, who called Bigfoot "Taku he", have forbidden hunting of him on their ground.
		Bigfoot, or as it's often called in Canada, the Sasquatch, is mentioned in several native American legends.
		Interest in Bigfoot began to pick up in the United States in 1958 when a bulldozer operator named Jerry Crew found enormous footprints around where he was working in Humboldt County, California.

	PRE-EXISTENCE AND INCARNATION AMONG NORTH AMERICAN INDIANS
		As the winged seed of the thistle or of the cottonwood floats on the air, so they are gently wafted by the 'four-winds'-'Taku-skan-skan'-through the regions of space, until, in due time, they find themselves in the abode of some one of the families of the superior gods by whom they are received into intimate fellow-ship.
		Here we are not referring to the pre-existence that a reincarnated individual has had in a previous earthly life as man or animal: we are referring to the pre-incarnative existence, man's life before he is incarnated on earth.
		The Winnebago medicine-man, who is sent down to a woman's womb from his pre-existence, retains his consciousness both at the conception and during the entire embryonic period.

		"Bear Butte entered into the National Register of Historic Places June 19, 1973 under the National preservation Act in the National register because of its spiritual value to the Plains Indians as well as its past as a navigational landmark to early travellers."
		Tipi rings can still be found along the Butte's perimeter as well as the rocks that the Sioux placed upon the Butte's summit and in trees along the climb, to establish claims to the land, to mark distance, and to offer prayers to Wakantanka and the Taku Wakan.
		It was at Bear Butte, in the summer of 1857, that the great Grand Council of the Teton Sioux was held, where the Sioux swore to fight the encroaching whites to the bitter end.

	::: American Indians of the Pacific Northwest Collection :::
		Trade routes went up river valleys (such as the Taku, Stikine, Alsek) and over mountain passes (named Chilkat, Chilcoot).
		In early spring, rivers run with smelt-like candlefish, so named because their bodies were full of oil that was boiled out for use as food.
		Travel was mostly by water because dense undergrowth, thickets of berries and brambles, obstructed land routes, except along river banks.

	Juneau Waterfront History Floatplane Tours with Wings Airways and Taku Glacier Lodge Juneau, Alaska
		Originally, fishing grounds for local Tlingit Indians, the Gastineau Channel area became the focus of attention in the late 1800’s when a local Tlingit provided the first known gold ore samples to Joe Juneau and Richard Harris.
		On the mainland side of the Channel two great mills were created in the early 1900’s, the Alaska-Juneau at the south end of Juneau and the Alaska-Gastineau at Thane, further south.
		In the height of the industrial boom an aviation hub was born on the downtown waterfront.

		Beside the oval front door slept slaves, taken in war or the children of such captives, whose lives belonged to their owner, along with all their efforts.
		If a low-ranking person killed a chief and the criminal could not arrange compensation from his or her clan, then their own chief might be killed to even the score.

	McClellan: Before Boundaries: Peoples of Yukon/Alaska
		On the other hand, most northern Indians are skilled practical linguists, quickly learning the languages of those with whom they come into contact for one reason or another, whether or not the languages involved belong to the same or quite different language families.
		The rivalry and fighting between Tsimshian clan heads to control rivers and passes that led to particular inland villages (Cove and MacDonald, 1987) is very reminiscent of the rivalry between certain Taku, Chilkatand Chilcoot clan chiefs for control of the inland trade.
		Tutchone speakers apparently once lived along the lower Alsek River and at Dry Bay and as far west as the Akwe River on the Alaskan coast but were displaced by the expanding Tlingit, perhaps not too long before white contact (de Laguna 1972: 81-82; McClelland, 1975a: 23-24).
