Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

The braids of hair are wound with strips of otter fur, and a weasel-skin dangles from each. The bands of white on the hair are effected with white clay.plain2018-03-16T21:11:47-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

In the summer they assemble in their picturesque village, consisting of a few wooden houses and a dozen or more canvas-covered tipis, at the edge of a camas meadow opposite the town of Cusick.plain2018-03-16T21:11:47-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

Their canoes are made of pine-bark on a framework of cedar strips, the seams and the imperfections of the bark being caulked with spruce gum.plain2018-03-16T21:11:48-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637

In this region of blue, mountain-girt lakes and majestic rivers they very naturally made use of canoes. The commoner form was the pine-bark craft still to be observed among the Kalispel (see plates 239, 240), but occasionally they made canoes of the form here illustrated, by stretching fresh elk-hides over a framework of fir strips or tough saplings. The one seen in the picture is a canvas-covered specimen found on the shore of Flathead lake in 1909.plain2018-03-16T21:11:50-07:00Erik Loyerf862727c4b34febd6a0341bffd27f168a35aa637
