Model Canoe | People | Model Floats96

Whaling canoes were about five fathoms long and carried a crew of eight: a steersman, six paddlers, and the harpooner who was the leader of the crew. Four miniature sealskin floats, inside of this model canoe, are attached to the line of twisted cedar withes, which are ready to slow the whale and inhibit its diving.

Bentwood Halibut Hook637

Halibut are flat fish that feed close to the bottom at offshore banks, and which can attain a weight of two hundred pounds. They are powerful, and Indian fishermen in their small canoes, often far from land, took care not to catch one that was too big to handle. The hooks were size-selective, too large for small fish and too small for those of unmanageable size. Halibut hooks of the Makah and their neighbors, for whom the fish was a staple of life, were of graceful U-form, bent of wood and armed with a barb of bone, or later, iron. (Holm, Spirit and Ancestor, 1987)
