content: Albert Naquin, Traditional Chief; Boyo Billiot, Deputy Chief; Chantel Comardelle, Tribal Secretary; and Heather Stone, collaborator; made the following comments during the Isle de Jean Charles Band of Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, October 23-27, 2017. Boyo notes that on the Island blow guns were made with a different material, wood instead of cane. Albert notes that the longer the gun was, the straighter it shot. Heather asks the group to explain the materials used on the end of the darts. It is cotton and not feathers. Boyo and Albert explain that feathers wouldn't seal up the blowgun whole to be able to push out the dart. Cotton used to be grown on Isle de Jean Charles.

label: Notes

content: The boots are made from multiple pieces of caribou fur stitched together with sinew. Bands of lighter colored fur on both the inside and outside of the leggings provide color contrast for the full length. Decorative strips of light and dark colored fur, painted red on the skin side, are stitched into many of the seams, hanging like tassels. Occasionally lengths of twisted red wool also are stitched with the fur strips. Long fur strips for securing each boot are stitched on the top edge at the center front and center back. The soles are made from rigid, de-furred seal skin, crimped at both the heel and toe. The proper lef boot sole has an ethnographic repair. The interior surface of the boots is the flesh side of the caribou strips, not embellished in any way. The following information is penned in black ink directly on the underside of the soles and is nearly indecipherable: "76708 Ft. Alexander Alaska".

content: Described and illus. pp. 194 - 198 in Fienup-Riordan Ann Alice Rearden and Marie Meade. 2023. Tengautuli Atkuk = the Flying Parka : The Meaning and Making of Parkas in Southwest Alaska.

Martina [Aparezuk]: "They have a nuqyun [strip of skin for pulling (the boot) up].""

content: Illus. p. 176 in Gilman, Carolyn. 2003. Lewis and Clark across the divide. Washington, D.C.: Smithsonian Books. Object is described there as "Apron with spirit birds, early 1800's. The triangles connected with lines of power to the mouths of these birds symbolize a space where their hearts should be. This shows that they are mythological beings. "An animal without a heart is immortal and supernatural," according to a Lakota source. The meaning of this design is unknown. The object at top is a calumet pipe; the two birds are probably a swallow and an eagle. The style of the drawing is similar to that of eighteenth-century Mississippi Valley pictorial robes. Aprons like this were worn in dances and ceremonies."
