ILLUS.: CROSSROADS OF CONTINENTS CATALOGUE; FIG.348, P.257. LOAN RETURNED: JAN 21 1993." Crossroads catalogue caption identifies as: "Grizzly Bear Spirit Realm, Bering Sea Eskimo. This mask represents the masked face (note mask bars on eyes) of a grizzly bear spirit confronting his traditional food, a salmon. His whiskers are made of quills, and three ... [Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis)] feathers are set into his brow. In addition to an encircling painted ring, bentwood hoops called ellanguat (lit. pretend cosmos or universe) fitted with swan feathers surround his head. Similarly decorated hoops used in the Doll Festival were represented to Edward Nelson (1899:496) as being symbolic of the universe, with feathers and downy plumes being stars and snowflakes."

See also NMNH Department of Botany Edward Palmer collections web exhibit page on this artifact: http://botany.si.edu/colls/palmer/narrative_page.cfm?Narr=14&locality= . Identified there as burden or carrying basket. "This pyramidal carrying-bag is made of netted sotol fiber (Dasylirion wheeleri) or Agave fiber attached to a willow (Salix sp.) hoop. Two woody ribs of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea sp.) are secured to the hoop, extending down and crossing at the vertex; in front of that a piece of matting of split Phragmites sp. or agave leaves is attached, together with a pad of cloth, to protect the carrier's back. The basket is supported by a tumpline across the forehead, woven from the softened fiber of Yucca baccata. The basket rests against the carrier's back, like a large open backpack. A staff, or helping stick, accompanies the basket. The stick is notched at the top and is used to support the basket in an upright position when it is unslung (Mason, 1904; Safford, Unpub:509). It is reported that some of the materials used for the basket were obtained from the Papago, a neighboring tribe (Rea, 1997)."

LENGTH OF HANDLE, 11 INCHES; LENGTH OF BLADE, 5 3/4 INCHES. ESKIMO OF MACKENZIE RIVER, ALASKA, 1869. 5,126. COLLECTED BY R. MACFARLANE."

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/150 , retrieved 1-17-2020: An adze with an iron blade attached to wood handle made of wood with a hide thong. The blade is made from an axe head of European origin that has been cut away along along both sides to make it narrower, and a groove has been cut into the upper surface and adjacent edges to hold the thong that secures the head to the handle. The handle has been skillfully shaped to provide a secure grip and balance. The end of the handle where it is attached to the blade has been cut aslant, and has a drilled hole through which the hide thong repeatedly passes. The thong lies in the groove on the head, which protected from wear it while the adze was in use. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/3: The short-handled adze was used for shaping large pieces of wood. The blades of traditional Inuvialuit adzes were made made from stone. When metal axe and hatchet blades became available through trade Inuvialuit used them to make adzes by hafting the blades sideways onto wood handles. The blade was bound to the handle using a thick hide thong that was put on when wet, and which shrank and became hard and tight when dry. Community Interpretations: Darrel Nasogaluak: You can tell if an adze was used by a right-handed or a left-handed person. If you place an adze on its head, with the sharp edge pointed toward you, the handle tilts to the right if it was made for a right-handed person and to the left if it was used by a lefty. The more a head was offset, the bigger the person who used it.

The inner part of the visor, where it is meant to rest against the forehead, has a concave shape and the opposite edge has a similar convex curvature. The strap is attached to the visor through holes drilled at both ends. More information here: http://www.inuvialuitlivinghistory.ca/item_types/61: Visors were worn on the forehead to shield the wearer's eyes from the glare of the sun off snow or water.

content: Gen. Timothy E. Wilcox

content: Stripes embroidered with colored plant fibers on buffalo hide. Collected among the Sioux, but of Cheyenne type.

content: Illus. Fig. 7, p. 64 in p. 58 in Greene, Candace S., 2015, "The Use of Plant Fibers in Plains Indian Embroidery," American Indian Art Magazine, 40(2):58-71. Identified there: "Striped buffalo robe, gift to General T. E. Wilcox, an amateur naturalist, from an unidentified tribe, c. 1870. Buffalo hide, plant fibers, leather, wool. 78 1/2" wide (199.4 cm). The robe has embroidery worked entirely in plant fibers of various colors except for small sections done with thin strips of red commercial leather." The robe is further described on pp. 65-66: "... a full buffalo hide with the hair on it, is embroidered with twenty-three stripes in warm tones of gold, brown and off-white, punctuated with sections of vivid scarlet, each section of color set off from the next by a single dark stitch. Each row is further accented with ten tufts of red wool. It is in many ways a classic example of the striped robe found throughout the Plains, except for one major difference: no porcupine quills were used. Instead the embroidery was worked with plant fibers in a range of carefully arranged natural colors. ... For the bright red sections, ... [the creator] used fine strips of commercially dyed leather, carefully peeled from the surface of some item of Western manufacture and reworked as embroidery strands. ... The original accession file lists it as a"[b]uffalo robe, given to Gen. Wilcox by a tribe grateful for the recovery of one of their favorite young men under his treatment." Information on the collection was evidently conveyed verbally by Wilcox, who identified the origin of some pieces, many as Sioux, but did not identify the "grateful tribe" from whom this robe came. ... Striped robes were made by several Plains tribes, but the arrangement of colors on this one suggests that it was produced by a member of one of the quilling scoieties that existed among the Cheyenne, Arapaho and Gros Ventre. Women in these societies undertook specific projects in fulfillment of a vow, often as a prayer for the welfare of beloved relatives. "The recovery of one of their favorite young men" would, for example, be an appropriate occasion for such a vow."
