This model shows a style of double-ended sled that the Tanana and other Alaskan Athabascan peoples used for hauling meat and freight before they adopted dog-drawn sleds in the nineteenth century. Hand sleds continued to be used in times of hardship when food was scarce and dogs could not be fed. Women often pulled the sleds, using lines that went around their shoulders; men pushed from behind.
