Puffin beaks tied with sinew to the framework of twigs bent into concentric circles & attached to the central wood cross-pieces." Illus.

content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=194, retrieved 8-28-2012: Hoop rattle, Sugpiaq (Alutiiq), Koniag. uulegsuuteq "shaker" - Language: Koniag Sugpiaq (Kodiak Island dialect) Dancers and shamans performed to the accompaniment of hoop rattles strung with hooves, claws, shells, and puffin beaks. ... Rattles were also used during preparation for war. Before departing, Kodiak Island war parties assembled in the ceremonial house with their weapons and armor, and as their war leaders danced they beat drums, shook rattles, and sang about the victories of their ancestors.

content: FROM CARD: "SEE "INUA", PL. 286, P. 238 FOR MAN WEARING THIS TUNIC, IDENTIFIED AS INGALIK [i.e. Deg Hit'an]. LOANED TO UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA MUSEUM 6-8-84. RETURNED: 10/9/84."

content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=141 , and entry on matching moccasin trousers http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=142 , retrieved 9-21-2011: Tunic. This tunic for a man is made of tanned moose hide, richly ornamented with small "seed" beads that were imported into the Yukon River region by the Hudson's Bay Company during the mid to late 19th century.(1) Bands of color and a wave-like design extend across the chest, shoulders, and back, and beads were also used to decorate the bottom fringes and front of the garment. The neck and the cuffs are bordered with red trade cloth, and red ocher (a mineral pigment) is painted around the bottom inside edge. The tunic was purchased along with matching moccasin trousers (# E64279-0) and mittens (# E64280-0) by Smithsonian collector Edward W. Nelson, who photographed the outfit as worn by its owner, a Gwich'in (Kutchin) man from Fort Yukon. Edward W. Nelson photographed the original owner as he stood with a musket in his hand and wearing the tunic, matching moccasin trousers (see # E64279-0), and a fire bag with beaded floral designs. The glass plate image was probably taken at the fur trade settlement of St. Michael near the mouth of the Yukon River, where Nelson was stationed between 1877-1881.(2) However, museum records list "Innoko River" (in Deg Hit'an/Ingalik country) as the location where the clothing set was collected, and Nelson did visit that region by dogsled in the winter of 1880. 1.

content: From discussion with Phillip Arrow, Trimble Gilbert, Eliza Jones and Judy Woods at the National Museum of Natural History and National Museum of the American Indian, 5/17/2004-5/21/2004. Also participating: Aron Crowell (NMNH), Kate Duncan (Arizona State University) and Suzi Jones (AMHA). In this entry, the Elders speak in different Athabascan dialects: Phillip Arrow, Deg Xinag; Trimble Gilbert, Gwich'in; Eliza Jones, Central Koyukon; and Judy Woods, Upper Koyukon: Eliza Jones: This is moosehide, tanned and smoked moosehide. And these are really, really old-time beads, because you see how small they are? Judy Woods: Yes, they are. Eliza Jones: This whole top piece is one piece. Kate Duncan: This is one piece wrapped around. Judy Woods: Yes, wrapped around. Kate Duncan: And how is it across the back? Eliza Jones: It's all one piece, all the way over. Again, the beads are very old-time beads. They look like size fourteen. This one might be sixteen. Some of these are little bigger. Wow. Aron Crowell: And how would they have tanned this skin to get it so soft? Eliza Jones: It's a long process. If they got this moose in the winter or even in the fall, the first thing you do is you drape it over a pole with the fur turned in. There's different methods, but one way is to haylgaa [scrape it]. Trimble Gilbert: Nehtthah reh [bone skin scraper]. Eliza Jones: Yes, with the scraper and the heavy weight on top. You just scrape away all the inside tissue from the meat side. When you get that done, then you turn it with the fur side out—still draped over a log—and then you get a knife. You hold the hide and cut the hair off. You cut the hair off the whole hide. And then when you get all that done, you put the hide in water and clean it off. If it's in winter, you take it outside and you make little peg holes around the edge of the hide. And you get little sticks to stake it down with and make flat place to stake it down. You do it on one side, and then when you get to the other side, you pull on the hide. You pull on the hide so that it's really taut, tight all around, so that it freezes smooth. And then after it freezes, like the next day, you drape it over maybe a sleigh or something. And you get a maahaa k'edelaaghe [scraper used in tanning moose hides], and you scrape this frozen hide, on the inside first. You finish taking all the tissue off the inside skin, and then you turn the hide over and do the same thing. The epidermis—that's what that the hair grows on—you have to scrape all that off. Then you wind dry it, and after that it can be tanned. They usually wait until the fall, until it's the right time. In the meantime, you save the brains from the moose and put it in a container and let it ferment, and you use that to tan it. It's a long process. There are books on how to tan, because it's a long process. You have to read about it, I can't tell you all about it.

content: Aron Crowell: You end up with a really soft hide. Eliza Jones: Yes. And you take rotten spruce—button spruce—it's a reddish-brown color, and you make smudge [smoke] in a container, like in a tub. It takes about four hours to color it.

label: Notes

content: From card: "Originally had following accessories: 3 hatch breakwaters [spray skirts], 3 double paddles, 3 whale spears, 1 whale line, 2 spear throwers, 1 chafing stick [presumably a gunnel board]. Almost identical to [Div. of Engineering] Cat. No. 76, 821. Refer: Collins MS. p. 782." As of 2013, there is one Aleut-style double blade paddle (painted red and black) with this catalogue number stored with the kayak and one Aleut-style double blade paddle (painted red and black) stored separately from the kayak. Associated artifacts are Catalogue Nos. E168525 - 35.

content: Provenience note: Accession record indicates that this kayak was collected by Capt. Zera Luther Tanner of the USS Albatross in Unalaska in 1892. This kayak is old Division of Engineering number 76281. At some point when the catalogue card was retyped (sometime from 1965 or later), the collection information for kayak number 76821 was mistakenly typed onto the catalogue card for kayak E398278. "Collector Capt. M.A. Healy, U.S. Revenue Cutter Corwin, 1885", which was typed on the card, applies to kayak 76821. It does not apply to E398278 (old number 76281). This kayak, under number 76281, is included on a shipping invoice dated June 23, 1947, filed in Accession 36096, recording the transfer of a number of boats from the Division of Engineering to the Division of Ethnology.

content: From Collins Ms. p. 782: Aleutian Three-Hole Bidarka. Used chiefly for travelling by the Aleut Indians of Alaska. this type of skin boat was originally introduced by the Russians or through their influence. The Russian traders used boats of this kind, the trader sitting in the middle while the boat is propelled by an Indian seated in the middle at each end. Full size. Unalaska, Alaska, 1892. Collected by U.S. Steamer Albatross, U.S. Fish Commission. A long, narrow, round bottom, keeless skin canoe; decked with three manholes; long, sharp cleft bow sharp stern; hogback sheer; fully equipped with paddles, spears, etc. The covering of the bidarka is made from the skin of the female sea lion, the seams being ornamented with hair probably obtained from the bear. This is drawn over the wooden frame when green and securely lashed at the manholes. The bidarka has the following equipment: 3 hatch breakwaters; 3 double paddles; 3 whale spears used in the capture of the beluga or white whale, hurled with a throwing board; the heads of the spears are made of walrus ivory attached to a bridle or line of braided sinew; 1 whale line cut from the head of the sea lion and used in connection with the spears; 2 throwing boards; 1 small chafing stick. Dimensions of bidarka: Length, 23 feet; beam 25 inches; depth, 14 1/2 inches."

content: Kayak is illustrated and described in detail in Golden, Harvey. 2015. Kayaks of Alaska. Portland, OR: White House Grocery Press: Plate 6, p. 58; pp. 80 - 82; Color Plate II, # 2, after p. 274.
