This incredibly comprehensive collection of ethnographic items includes clothing laboriously and beautifully made from animal guts, painted cedar boxes, carved kayaks, carved wooden bowls, walrus ivory figures and much more, acquired from the Russian American Native peoples in the first half of the 19th century. Good photographic examples and historical information about the skills of the forefathers of today’s Alaskans and the Finns in Russian America.
