RARE AND VALUABLE SPECIMEN. 4/18/1967: LOANED TO VANCOUVER ART GALL., 12/13/1967 RETURNED BY VANCOUVER. LOAN CROSSROADS SEP 22 1988, LOAN RETURNED JAN 21, 1993. ILLUS.: CROSSROADS OF CONTINENTS CATALOGUE; FIG. 290, P. 219." FROM CROSSROADS CATALOGUE: "A WRAPAROUND APRON AND DECORATED LEGGINGS WERE OFTEN WORN BY THE NOBILITY ALONG WITH A CHILKAT BLANKET ON CEREMONIAL OCCASIONS. THE WOVEN PIECES OF THIS SET (OF DANCE APRON AND LEGGINGS) WERE ORIGINALLY PART OF A SINGLE BLANKET DEPICTING A DIVING KILLER WHALE, WHICH WAS PROBABLY CUT UP AND DISTRIBUTED TO GUESTS DURING A GREAT MEMORIAL POTLATCH. THE WOVEN PIECES HAVE BEEN EXTENDED WITH TRADE BLANKET MATERIAL AND BORDERED WITH SKIN FRINGES. PUFFIN BEAKS ATTACHED TO THE FRINGES RATTLED TOGETHER WITH THE MOVEMENTS OF THE DANCER."" Leggings illus. Fig. G, after p. 48 in The Chilkat Dancing Blanket, by Cheryl Samuel, University of Oklahoma Press, 1982.

content: Description: Wraparound leggings decorated with a stylized formline design woven in white, black, blue, and yellow dyed wool. The woven piece has been widened by the addition of wool trade blanket material and bordered with skin fringes. Puffin beaks are attached to the fringes. Materials and Construction: Wool, cotton, cedar bark, hide, and Puffin beaks were used to fabricate the leggings. Fitzhugh and Crowell suggest that the leggings were once part of a larger Chilkat blanket, which was probably cut up and distributed to guests during a great memorial potlatch. The cut edges of the woven fabric are trimmed with black silk piping. Rectangular black wool panels have been sewn to the sides of the leggings. A strip of hide is sewn along the sides of each legging and cut into a fringe. Puffin beaks have been stitched to the inside edge of the hide, adjacent to the weaving and make a rattling sound when the leggings move. One of the leggings has a narrow strip of hide sewn to the top of the legging which has also been cut into fringe. A single Puffin beak is sewn into one end of the hide fringe in this area. The bottom edge of the leggings taper to a fish tail like extension that would partially cover the top of the foot. Hide and canvas strips, sewn at the top, middle and bottom of each side were used to tie the leggings to the wearer.

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=349 , retrieved 11-29-2011: Leggings These dance leggings, like the accompanying apron, feature pieces that were cut from a Chilkat-style mountain goat wool blanket. Sections from the original weaving were sewn onto commercial wool cloth and decorated with puffin beaks and leather fringes. The tail-shaped flaps at the bottom of the leggings rested on top of the dancer's moccasins.

content: This specimen is listed in Fowler and Matley (1979) as part of a group of "Pitch-covered Water Jugs," bearing catalog numbers 10758, 10760, 11880, 11882 (Mason, 1904: 258-259 and pl. 32: nos. 1-3, 7). None of the items were found in the collection. A quoted description by Mason states: "Major J.W. Powell.. in company with Prof. A.H. Thompson, made a collection of water-tight basket work from the Paiute Indians (Shoshonean family) in soutnern Utah.... Cat, no. 11882 is a Tsai a wats ..." [Fowler & Matley (1979), pp. 20-21]

content: “Southern Paiute, Southern Utah” is a distinction observed by Fowler and Matley (1979) when specific band identification was not possible. “Southern Paiute. Southern Utah refers in general to the bands that Powell encountered in southern Utah and the Arizona Strip (that portion of present-day Arizona north of the Grand Canyon), i.e., the Kaibab, Uinkarets, Unkakaniguts and Shivwits.” [see: Fowler and Matley (1979), p. 5-6]

content: Source of the information below: Smithsonian Arctic Studies Center Alaska Native Collections: Sharing Knowledge website, by Aron Crowell, entry on this artifact https://alaska.si.edu/record.asp?id=84 , retrieved 10-21-2021; see web page for additional information: Socketpiece, Yup'ik. This walrus ivory socket fits on the end of a dart for killing sea mammals, to hold the weapon's bone point. The carved image of a wolf or dog has many possible meanings - as a hunter's helping spirit, family crest, or depiction of a legendary being. Wolves were said to become killer whales when they walked into the sea. This is the socket piece of a Kuskokwim Bay sea mammal dart, carved in walrus ivory to represent a wolf, according to Smithsonian collector Edward Nelson. Small fragments of green glass or mineral represent the creature's eyes, and its teeth are tinted with red pigment. A socket piece like this was attached to the front end of a dart used to kill large seals, walrus, and beluga whales. Darts were thrown with the nuqaq [throwing board] and the weight of the socket helped the dart to fly far and hit hard. The base of the weapon's sharp barbed point fit inside the "mouth" of the wolf or dog, which is lined with wood to absorb the shock of impact. Nelson reported that socket pieces decorated with wolf images were common on Nunivak Island and along the adjacent mainland of southwestern Alaska, and that this design was a "totem" that represented a particular lineage or group of families. Other totems included the land otter, gerfalcon, and raven. Similarities between wolves and humans are emphasized in Yup'ik oral tradition. They were also believed to have an alternative identity as beluga whales, and to change from one form to the other. Traditional stories also tell of wolves changing into killer whales. The shared identities of wolves and toothed whales may explain imarpiim qimugtii, the "dog of the sea" discussed by Elders in relation to this object. Canine imagery on hunting equipment may also reflect a desire to share in the hunting skill of these predators.

The production and use of sinew backed horn bows is detailed in Notes on the Hidatsa Indians Based on Data Recorded by the Late Gilbert Wilson, Anthropological Papers, American Museum of Natural History v.56, pt.2, Bella Weitzner (1979, pp.229-235). Culture identification changed from Sioux to Hidatsa, Arikara, or Mandan by Candace Greene May 2017 based on a full review of the collecting history and consideration of general stylistic traits.

content: FROM CARD: "IN BOAT NO. 76280 [i.e. came associated with kayak # E398277]. #168,519--SEE LINE DRAWING IN PHOTO FILE UNDER ALEUT." Boat no. 76280 is Catalogue No. E398277.

content: 2 parts: wooden dart/harpoon shaft and bone and glass dart/harpoon head. Note re photos: Neg. # 99-20255 is an image of bone and glass harpoon head only (wooden shaft is not in photo).

content: Traditional bone Aleut harpoon head has been combined with a new material introduced by the Russians: glass, used as the point of the harpoon head; has sinew lashing. Presence of glass dates it to after 1750. Artifact was collected in Unalaska circa 1892.

content: Dart head is on loan to the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, from 2010 through 2027.

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=650, retrieved 5-8-2014: Dart To spear fin and humpback whales, hunters in kayaks threw poison-coated darts with bone heads and points made of obsidian (volcanic glass). Whales died after several days as the slow-acting poison paralyzed their fins or tails, causing them to drown. The poison used was aconite, extracted by soaking and boiling the roots of the monkshood flower. Aconite-covered darts were also employed as deadly weapons for human warfare.
