Rope Item Number: A8193 from the MOA: University of British Columbia
Description
Three strand cedar bark rope.
Narrative
Rope from the box A8209. According to a collector's note the box was found when loggers unearthed a burial cave in "Smith's Inlet, Queen Charlottes." The only similar place name in BC appears to be Smith Inlet, off Queen Charlotte Sound (Kwakwaka'wakw territory), so it is assumed to be from Smith Inlet.
