content: FROM CARD: "BIRCH BARK CANOE OF THE TINNEH INDIANS (ATHAPASCAN STOCK). MADE OF BIRCH BARK, SEWED WITH ROOT FIBER, AND ONE END DECKED OVER. ON THE YUKON RIVER, TOWARD THE LOWER PORTION, THE WATERS ARE MORE TEMPESTUOUS. REQUIRING MORE COVERING FOR THE BOW OF THE BOAT. FARTHER DOWN THE RIVER, WHERE THE BIRCH TREES GIVE OUT AND THE WATER BECOMES MORE DANGEROUS, THE SKIN KAYAK TAKES THE PLACE OF THE BIRCH BARK CANOE. ANVIK, ALASKA. COLLECTED BY E. W. NELSON."
