From card: "Grey wolf."Karen Anderson (Nuxalk elder), Ian Reid (Heiltsuk), Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk) and Jennifer Kramer (anthropologist) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. This wolf skin robe was probably sewn together using sinew. These pieces are very sacred, the only time they're danced is in the marriage and dog eater dances. Wolf head pieces would be worn with cedar bark tunics that had copper jingles and red face paint, in addition to the wolf blanket. These marriage ceremonies only belong to the upper valley people. Different furs were worn by chiefs, a chief that had five potlatches for his name is allowed to wear a shawl/drape/robe out of lynx. High ranking people would wear different fur robes, while most others wore cedar bark clothing.

From card: "Thin board, sharp on lower edge and with hand grip on upper edge. Used for breaking cedar bark."Bark shredder.Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. This is a shredder, not a beater. After you've beaten your bark and softened it, you take the bark and you put it at the edge of a box or a table, and you use the shredder to fray the fibers. Then you're able to make it into clothing, diapers, or menstrual pads. There is a cedar bark softening dance.Listed on page 50 in "The Exhibits of the Smithsonian Institution at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, California, 1915", in section "Arts of the Northwest Coast Tribes (Tools)".

From card: "Roll of straw bound in cotton print cloth. Over this roll is laid well twisted cord of cedar bark sewed on. Around the circle are fringes of frayed cedar bark and twisted cord."Karen Anderson (Nuxalk elder) and Clyde Tallio (Nuxalk) of the delegation from Bella Bella, Bella Coola and Rivers Inlet communities of British Columbia made the following comments during the Recovering Voices Community Research Visit May 20th - 24th, 2013. These are used in winter dancing and are made from red cedar bark. The collar protects your spirit. If you have a near accident where you capsize in a boat, drifting down the river, or you get into a car accident, your spirit can leave, so what you do is you go back to the place where it happens. If the men drift down the river, they have to go up the river and come back down. They have to do it right away so their spirit comes back, they call it back and then they have to feast and call the people who saved them or helped them get through what they went through. That's still practiced a lot today. There are many styles of dancing collars that determine your rank, if you're a senior dancer or novice dancer. Each dance has its own style of neck rings.

This dance image or puppet looks to be whittled noncommittally. It is unfinished, probably produced for tourists. It is made from alder wood.
