Newspaper's History:
Dates when publication began and ceased are unknown, but
according to correspondence from Fort Tongass seen by Alaska
historian R.N. DeArmond, it was published around 1869. It was a
manuscript paper. "Wa-wa" is the Chinook jargon word for "talk",
per Aug 29, 1994 letter from Mr. DeArmond to the Alaska Newspaper
Project staff.
