Harpoon for whales. The catalogue card details the following information, found on an old card on Mr.Paterson' s desk . Harpoon with metal point, elk horn barbs decorated with Haietlik, i.e the mythical snake. It is said that when the thunderbird wishes to kill a whale he hurls the Haietlik at it, which spears the body of the whale like a harpoon. The rope is made of whale sinew strengthened in twine. The loop is covered with cherry bark. The harpoon head is covered with spruce gum. The line attached to the harpoon head is extremely long and thick.
