content: Small hollow piece of bone with string tied through and wrapped around. According to associated sketch (made by a Chippewa?) and annotated by Densmore, this is a "noose for catching rabbits". Also written on the sketch is: " 'Run-way' of rabbits". "The noose is held open by little sticks set up lightly." The original sketch is in the National Anthropological Archives/NAA, but a photocopy is in the accession file. The object was found in the NAA B.A.E. MS. File 3942 in 2012 and transferred to the Ethnology Division.
