Yéll and His
Wife
Yéll lived with his wife on
the other side of Lituya Bay in a rock house. They journeyed from
Lituya Bay to Dry Bay hunting and fishing. As they travelled up the
coast, they passed Icy Bay and Cape Yakutaga. Then they
camped.
Early the next morning, Yéll
sighted two whales and prepared to go after them. He began to load
their canoe, urging his wife to hurry. His wife began to load the
canoe with her things. Yéll became angry because she put too
much stuff in the canoe.
After they got out to the ocean, he
said that the canoe was overloaded. So he grabbed her sewing basket
and threw it into the ocean where it turned into a rock and is still
there today.
Yéll sighted two whales, one
small one, and one large one. He said to his wife, "Cover your face
and close your eyes. You must not see me spear the whale."
Yé11 had everything he needed
in the canoe: the spear, the line and the buoy. He followed the two
whales, paddling the canoe. When he came close enough he grabbed his
spear and got ready to throw it. At that moment, his wife uncovered
her face and opened her eyes. Then they and their boat and the whale
all turned to rocks.
So today you see the two islands in
front of Katalla. That island we call "Yaay X'aat'ee" (Whale Island)
is where the small whale is now. There is also a small island on the
side of Yaay X'aat'ee, and to the south of that island you can see
Yéll's spear and his buoy. All of them turned into rocks
because Yéll's wife forgot what she was told.
