Image Missing: Hearst Museum object titled Spear-thrower, accession number 2-3014, described as Spear thrower. “the natives are very expert and will hit a silver dollar at over a hundred feet. If the point of the spear misses the bird the sharp points nearer the hand are very apt to catch in the wings. This was made and owned by the old chief. The ivory forming the spear point- and on the staff- is from the jawbone of a whale and secured by walrus thongs. The wood is driftwood presumably from the Yukon River. The driver [spear thrower] is made from driftwood and shaped to fit the hand.” Copied from Cushing’s notebook.
