content: Female Yup'ik doll seated in a skin kayak; doll is holding a hunting spear. Kayak also has an accompanying wooden double blade paddle. The kayak is made of salmon skin, and the doll visor is the bird skull of a Murre [most likely a Common Murre, uria cf. aage - identification by Megan Spitzer, NMNH Birds Division]. According to Sharolynn Zackar, a member of the Igiugig Village and maker of the doll, the bird skull, salmon skin, fur and wood for the doll were obtained locally. The doll was presented on September 21, 2017, to Bill Billeck, NMNH Repatriation Program Manager, at a reception at the Igiugig Village after the completion of a repatriation.
