Brandon Moonin: Used for seal hunting
Brandon Moonin: Bone, Eagle Feathers.
Brandon Moonin: A hunter talking to a whale. Story.
William Smith: Mother Earth is a provider. Today there is no respect left. You thank the animal you are hunting. You do not disrespect the animals.
Dawn Randazzo: Braiding, twining
John Johnson: Bladder was used to store oils and foods in the homes, they would hang everywhere.
Dawn Randazzo: This is possibly seal stomach. Halibut Stomach was also cleaned and used but the material is thinner than Seal.
Deborah McMullen: Bladder (Deborah) seal stomach you have to clean it to take the interior (epidermal lining) its hard not to tear it. I kept hitting a bump and it tore. And Deborah turned it inside out and it had a huge ulcer on it. And it was disgusting and she brought it back down to the shore.
William Smith: Russian new year celebration (Nuikuutaq, Sugt'stun) They had the bladder tied to their clothing. They would hit the bladder and it would bleed out to say farewell to the old year and invite new year.
William Smith: Tyonek style of fishing: they would bury a driftwood Tree upside down in low tide and would stand on the upright roots to spear animals swimming by.
William Smith: possibly Tyonek. The spear would be to big to spear from a Qayaq therefore it could have been used by Tyonek to spear from Tree Stumps.
John Johnson: Probably tyonek as it seems like there is birch on it.
Brandon Moonin: Notch on bottom could have been used to use with throwing board such as IV A 6257. The spear has three joints. It could be that the spear could be divided into 3 pieces for easier travel. and if a part broke it could easily be repaired. Hit targets from 80 yards with the throwing boards.
Raymond Eric Clock: Whales would come by right by the ship so you could also spear from a sitting position from a Qayaq.
