content: From card: "War drum. Hollowed like a trough from a log of hard red, wood, the bottom is convex like the bilge of a cask, or more so when used, a coil of rope forms it base. Beaten with two sticks one of which is small, the other large. The tavola tree of Fiji, (terminalia catappa) is said to make the best sounding lalis, although the vesi tree (afzelia bijuga) is also used. 'The sides are beaten by two sticks about 18 inches long. In different ways, measures or tunes are beaten on them, the meaning of which is known by the natives and the "old hands" or settlers. The sound of the lali is not unpleasant when beaten by a practiced hand, and a good sounding one may be heard at a distance of four or five miles on a quiet evening.' -Horne, 'A Year in Fiji', p. 114. Commodore Wilkes in his "Narrative of the U.S. Exploring Expedition [vol. III, pp. 316-317; see also related illustration p. 334]," states that this drum was given to him by Tiu Thakau, a chief of the island [sic] of Somu-Somu, together with a thousand yams in exchange for a musket-the usual price, and a whale's tooth in token of friendship. "After the drum had been presented to me," he continues, "I was desirous of hearing them beat upon it. They have several beats or calls to give notice to the koro (or village), one of which was for calling the people together to the feast of human bodies. They were all distinct and they said quite audible at a great distance. The Feejee [sic] drum is similar to that described at Tonga, and is made of a log hollowed out and placed on one point. It gives out a deep, hollow tone when struck with the small and large sticks, with which they produce the different sounds.' -Vol. iii, pp. 299-300."

content: "Tiu Thakau" is most likely a title rather than a name. Today the Tui Cakau is the Paramount Chief of Cakaudrove Province in Fiji. Cakaudrove Province includes the island of Taveuni, which includes Somosomo. Somosomo is the traditional fiefdom of the Tui Cakau.

label: Notes

content: Re-attribution from Ethiopia to Sudan approved by curators Christine Kreamer (NMAfA) and Mary Jo Arnoldi (NMNH).

content: "[Objects like] these might be described as 'standards', and I believe the Arabic word is 'alim.' The text is a kind of pseudo-Koranic script that was often used to decorate any kind of open surface of a sword, axe, dagger, or piece of armor. This type of script is called 'thuluth' and was thought to impart the protection of God's words to the object, even though the words were meaningless...It was to protect the holy warrior in battle. You can tell this is not Ethiopian because the Ethiopians would never have used Arabic script. Also the same kind of 'thuluth' script appears on a sword [in my own collection], but in combination with real script stating that the object was 'forged in Omdurman' (capital of Mahdist Sudan, across the river from Khartoum)." -- Tim Kendall 1/30/03.

content: Round piece of pottery, hollow with rattling pieces inside. One side is brown clay, incised with little circles and a sunburst. The other side is darker (burned?) with no design. Donor says it was collected from the same set of ruins as E431560 (ruins of a Djennenke house which collapsed while she was there in 1969-1970). She says "when I asked about it, I was given two different stories. [First, that] it was used to weigh down the kunta arkila 'mosquito nets'; [and second, that it was] a child's toy. conceivably, it might be considering the designs on top (which no one could explain to me) and how easily it spins"

content: From card: "Embroidered panel wall hanging, yellow satin field with dispersed embroidered cloud figures, panel has been cut off at one end, consequently instead of the expected 9 embroidered dragon figures, there are but 3 5-clawed dragons in metallic gold thread, other embroidered figures: fish, bat with swastika, fan, sea shell, mystic diagram, yin-yang, border: blue satin is embroidered with clouds, figure of mystic diagram, bats and vase, lotus, border also cut off at the end."

content: "According to the donor's letters, the panel was cut off at one end before donation; It should be noted that there were also symbols of longevity found on this object, however these may have been interpreted as the aforementioned "yin-yang" during the original examination." Per Stephanie Beaumont; see attached multimedia pdf in accession record 202518.

content: "Bat: Called bianfu in Chinese, the second character, fu, is a homophone for good fortune (also pronounced fu); it also symbolized longevity and happiness. Red bats mean "widespread good fortune" and five bats are a wish for the Five Blessings: longevity, wealth, good health, virtue, and a peaceful death. Bats and the swastika mean "ten thousand-fold wishes for good fortune and happiness."" - source of above information on bats and swastikas is "Rank and Style: Power Dressing in Imperial China", 2008 online exhibit of the Pacific Asia Museum, Pasadena, California, https://web.archive.org/web/20160624035350/http://www.pacificasiamuseum.org/rankandstyle/html/symbols.stm. Also, in China the Buddhist swastika (called the Wan symbol) was seen as a symbol of plurality, eternity, abundance, prosperity and long life.

content: FROM CARD: "WATER-PROOF. IN BOAT NO. 76282. INVENTORIED 1976." Boat no. 76282 is Catalogue No. E398279. Detailed description of kayak and its associated artifacts is in Collins Ms., pp. 765-766. Associated artifacts are Catalogue Nos. E168568 - 77.

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=265, retrieved 7-17-2013: Gut parka. Also called: kamleika [from Chukchi word for gut parka], gutskin parka, intestine parka, rain parka, snow shirt. According to Mary Bourdukofsky and Vlass Shabolin, a kamleika is a "gut parka" or "rain parka" and can refer to rain gear in general. It comes from the Russian term kamleika. Women sewed waterproof "raincoats" using the gut (intestine) of any large sea mammal. The design includes a hood with drawstring. Men always wore this chag^talisax^ [gut parka] or kamleika (Russian) in their kayaks to keep dry, usually with a birdskin parka underneath. Elders' discussions of the parka in 2003 (see web page cited above for the full entries); several gut parkas were being discussed at the same time, with Mary N. Bourdukofsky, Vlass Shabolin, Maria Turnpaugh and Daria Dirks (Tanadgusix Foundation) at the National Museum of Natural History and National Museum of the American Indian, 4/07/2003-4/11/2003. Also participating: Aron Crowell and Bill Fitzhugh (NMNH) and Suzi Jones (AMHA). Vlass Shabolin: Chag^talisax^. (Gut parka.) Mary Bourdukofsky: Chag^talisax^, yes, but they usually used to call it a kamleika. In my time, I never saw anybody wear this kind of chag^talisax^ or kamleika. It could be in early 1900s that in the Aleutian Chain they were still wearing them. Maria Turnpaugh: I think old George Berrinon used to wear it once in a while, but I've never seen anybody else that I can remember. We had one in our house when we left, but it was gone when we came back, after the evacuation. Aron Crowell: Were these just worn by men? Maria Turnpaugh: Yes. Aron Crowell: So from what you heard, were these used when you were out in a kayak? Vlass Shabolin: In a single kayak or a three-man kayak. Maria Turnpaugh: The bottom used to have a drawstring, and you'd tie it around the opening of the kayak so the water wouldn't come in there. Notice that there its neck part is longer where you would pull the drawstring tight. Aron Crowell: So you would wrap the hood tightly around your face with that string?

content: Mary Bourdukofsky: Yes, that's a drawstring. Vlass Shabolin: It tightens up around your face and makes it more seaworthy, because the water won't come down through your neck, like if you had elastic around your raingear. Aron Crowell: We haven't looked at the hoods closely. Did the other ones have the strips that are going forward like this [seams running vertically down hood]? Maria Turnpaugh: Yes. Mary Bourdukofsky: Yes, curve it down or else it'll be pointed. Aron Crowell: And how were the intestines prepared? Mary Bourdukofsky: Cleaned and blown up. Dried in the air, in the sun. They don't cut them until they dry up, and then they split them open. Aron Crowell: Sea lion intestines? Mary Bourdukofsky: It could be sea lion or ugruk [bearded seal (in Iñupiaq)] or any big sea animal you could find. Maria Turnpaugh: I don't think we had ugruk around where we came from. Mary Bourdukofsky: Sometimes they'll find it around Pribilof Island after a big storm, and people used to take parts of it for some uses. According to Vlass Shabolin and Mary Bourdukofsky, fur seal intestines were usually used to make kamleikas.

content: Bow is # 1 of 4 with this catalogue number. Two of the three arrows with this number, #2 of 4, and #3 of 4, are illustrated, under the numbers E178645A and B, in Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell; entries on the arrows are http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=277, and http://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=278 , retrieved 8-27-2012, which is the source of the information below: iron tipped arrow, # 2 of 4 or A: This iron-tipped Gwich'in arrow would have been used for large game including caribou and moose. It is fletched with hawk feathers. Elder Trimble Gilbert, Gwich'in, described how to finish an arrow by shaving small amounts of wood off one side of the shaft or another with a sharp knife until it flies in a straight line. Being able to craft a well-balanced bow complete with straight arrows was an essential skill for a hunter. arrow with double-headed bone point, # 3 of 4 or B (arrow # 4 of 4 is similar): Hunters used arrows with double-headed bone points to shoot ducks and other waterfowl. The bone ends were forced apart when the arrow hit, clamping into the wound. An arrow that missed its target floated vertically in the water until it could be retrieved. This Gwich'in duck arrow is fletched with black raven feathers.

content: This object is on loan to the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, from 2010 through 2027. Only 2 arrows of the 3 inventoried are on loan; arrows # 2 of 4 (also called A) and # 3 of 4 (also called B) are on loan; arrow # 4 of 4 and bow are not on loan.
