content: From card: "Made of slippery elm bark. Cut from flat piece of bark. Photo and description in BAE Bulletin 86, figure 9 [p. 66]." In BAE Bulletin 86, p. 66, Frances Densmore indicates these dolls were made from the inner bark of the slippery elm, and ... "cut by a woman at Red Lake from bark she took from the tree. The figure of the woman shows the old manner of dressing the hair and both figures are so cut that they can be easily held by little hands."
