Brandon Moonin: Naniq - seal oil lamp in Sugt'stun.
Brandon Moonin: The catalogue card is written light. Real writing is Kumat/
Deborah McMullen: Debbie's brother loves to go out on the water and look for artifacts on the beaches. A lot of the time you can feel them and feel where they are at before you see them.
Raymond Eric Clock: In relation to Deborah's comment: everything has a spirit, like trees and rocks, so you can feel their presence. Especially with animal artifacts.
Raymond Eric Clock: You would have an adjustable wick on the outside that would draw oil out and you could use it and adjust the heat to also cook things or boil water. We would have one made of soap stone, They put it by the entrance at Potlatches as native incense as it has a nice odor (Seal Oil).
Raymond Eric Clock: I was raised in an Athabascan village, northern villages used to trade seal oil with Inupiaq village, there were no seals in the village, but the seal oil/fatty foods are good for calories.
Raymond Eric Clock:There were two ways of rendering seal oil. 1. Render it down with heat. 2. Northern people self-rendered it. Just cut the blubber in Chunks and it will render itself in airtight containers.
Raymond Eric Clock: I used to render down a lot of seal oil and even make salad dressing out of it: use italian salad dressing mix and then use half olive oil and half seal oil.
John Johnson: Seals and sea lion was what cows are for Europeans, it's a staple diet, available all year round.
