Taking the Wrong
Trail
Once when he was a young man and
before he knew the country between the Kuskokwim and the Yukon
Alexander Isaac's uncle gave him some good advice. Before leaving on
a trip by dogsled over to Akiachak he told him to let his leader take
him in the direction he wanted to go whenever he was on unfamiliar
trails. That way he wouldn't get lost.
When Alexander got to Akiachak he
stayed there for a day, then a day later he started back home to the
Johnson River. But along the way he forgot his uncle's advice and
somehow made his dogs take a wrong turn and followed a trapping trail
made by some Akiachak people. After awhile he noticed the country
looked different and he realized he wasn't on the the right trail.
Just before dark he came to a place where there was a blackfish trap
and he decided to stop to camp for the night there just in case the
weather got worse. He used some of the blackfish from the trap for
himself and his dogs, then he turned in for
the night.
The next morning while going back
along the trail he'd followed the day before he met two guys coming
his way probably to check their blackfish trap. Since he had been
taught to always be honest, he told them he had used some of the fish
for himself and his dogs. The men saw he was lost, so they told him
to keep following their trail to a cabin where there was an old man
living and he would give him instructions as to where to go from
there to get home. He did this and then followed the old man's
directions back to familiar country from where he could find his way
home more easily.
From that time on he paid more
attention to what older people said about taking notice of trail
conditions, like the direction the grass pointed after the last storm
in winter, and about running dogs on unfamiliar trails.
