Yaku-lanas( YiVku Id^nas, 'middle-town people'). A large and important Haida family ))el(^nging to the Raven clan. By the Skidegate people it is said they were so named because they occupied the middle row in a legendary tive- row town, where all the Raven side for- merly lived (see Skeiid). The Masset people attributed it to the fact that wherever the members of this family settled they occupied the middle of the village. They are said to have come originally from the s. end of Queen Charlotte ids., but the greater part finally moved to Alaska, where they constituted the most important Raven family among the Kaigani. One subdivision, the Ao- yaku-lnagai, settled in Masset inlet. Of the Kaigani part of the family there were 4 subdivisions, the Kaad-naas-hadai, Yehl- naas-hadai, Skistlai-nai-hadai, and Na- kaduts-hadai. The extinct Ta-ahl-lanas of North id. perhaps belonged to it. Be- fore they left Queen Charlotte ids. their principal town was Dadens. In Alaska it was Klinkwan. The Hlgahet-gu-lanas are said to have once been a part of this family.—Swanton,Cont. Haida, 271,1905. Yak' li,'nas.—Boas, Rep. N. W. Tribes Can., 22,1898. Yakwu Lennas.—Harrison in Proc. Roy. See.
