This garter is loom woven probably without the use of a heddle. The warps and wefts are thread and made with small seed beads. It has a repeated motif of eight-pointed yellow stars with white centers, outlined in blue, red, and clear beads on a blue and cloudy white background. See other garters 50.67.37 a,b,d.shown in additional potograph.

This garter is loom woven probably without the use of a heddle. It is made with garnet and white pony beads on a warp of black and green with thread wefts. The beads are composed in a geometric pattern of rectangles and diagonal lines, opposed as chevrons. See other garters, 50.67 a,c,d.shown in additional photogrpahs.

This is a ball-headed type of war club. The incised designs on the handle include six birds on one side and four (possibly) dancing or fihjting figures on the other. The bird motifs are filled with black paint, the figures with red paint. The ball is painted black and there is fire decoration on the handle. The painted and incised designs on this club consist of six black gallinaceous birds (prairie chicken-like in silhouette) on one side. On the opposite side, two pairs of red human figures run toward one another. Each of the four carries a pipe in one hand and, in the other, an upraised arrow in an enigmatic pose. As demonstrated in this example, clubs were carved from one piece of wood. Often a thick branch attached to a trunk was chosen, or a knot of a tree would be formed into a head and the attached portion of the trunk into a handle, so that the grain had structural strength. The club is flat handled and sided and stained black at both the handle end and ball end.

Object is a ball-headed war club. Linear curves of upper handle and ball-head carved with scallop shapes that are decorated with black paint. Beveled edges of handle are painted red. Ball and handle are ornamented with burned file decorations. Condition is good.

This is a perfectly scaled model of a birch bark and ash splint canoe. The exterior or weaker side of the canoe faces inward, and the hull is almost completely lined with the ash splints. On the outside of the canoe model, pitch was used to cover the seams. Painted red circles are incised at bow and stern. Black, red, and blue paint decorate the rim of the model canoe.

These wooden snow shoes are constructed with upturned, pointed tips. They are decorated with both red paint as well as red Stroud cloth which has been added as small red squares along the edges and covering the edges of the center sections. The red cloth is also wrapped around the curved wooden members that make up the external structure of the snow shoe. At the center of each shoe's right and left side, hide thong is wrapped over the red cloth section to secure it.
