content: Source of the information below: Inuvialuit Pitqusiit Inuuniarutait: Inuvialuit Living History, The MacFarlane Collection website, by the Inuvialuit Cultural Resource Centre (ICRC), Inuvik, N.W.T., Canada (website credits here http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/posts/12 ), entry on this artifact http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/items/268 , retrieved 12-10-2019: A pair of mittens made from polar bear hide with the fur left on. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/41: Mittens with separate thumbs were used for keeping the hands warm in winter. They usually have the hair on the outside at the back of the mitten, which can be held against one's face to keep it warm. The mittens usually are quite short, as the fur trim on the sleeves of parkas protected the exposed wrist.

content: FROM CARD: "FIJIAN WAR DRUM ILLUS., IN PROCEEDINGS, USNM, VOL. 60, ART. 9; PL. 39, NO. 16; P. 48 (HOUGH, HIST. INVENTIONS)." From "Section of Musical Instruments" card: "Made of a dark red wood, excavated like a trough with its solid ends inside the sides three inches like the chime of a cask. Also it has a convex back or bottom like a cask, ornamented with [glass] beads inlaid in the wood, possibly a model of the great war drum, though some regard it as a real instrument." Drum has small paper printed number "34" glued on. It also has letters carved/incised into the side which appear to read: "NEWANI INEP" (all letter N's are backwards).

content: Used with small mallets or beaters, such drums or slit gongs were utilized during dances (meke) and in other occasions to vehicle messages, including in wartime. Here, glass beads and carved letters reflect on interactions with foreign voyagers and missionaries.
