The Scapulae ob the Head of the Cabibou Make "the ; Drop the index loops and invert the loops on the thumbs to make the strings run straight. Put the thumb loops together, then from the proximal side take up the ulnar little finger strings and navaho the thumbs. Near each thumb a string runs up from the lower transverse string to loop round the upper transverse string. Pass the indices into the loop it thus makes just below the upper transverse string and draw through the horizontal string which runs parallel and just below the upper transverse string. Spread apart the thumb and index loops and you have "the scapulae," or, according to the Copper Eskimos, "the head" of a caribou or musk-ox, the loops that by the Mackenzie natives are considered "the scapulae" being the up- standing Fig. 59 The Mackenzie natives then continue by grasping the two radial index strings in one hand and the two radial thumb strings in the other. Separate the two hands and you have "the little finger," or, as they call it diq (see fig. 20). I have not seen this development among the Copper Eskimos. SECTION 2. FIGURES FOUND IN ALASKA AND MACKENZIE RIVER ONLY XLVII. The Fish-net Toen by Polar Beabs This figure is known to the Barrow and Inland natives of North Alaska, and to the Eskimos of the Mackenzie delta. Opening A. Pass the thumbs over the radial index strings and take up with them from the proximal side the radial little, finger strings. With the backs of the middle fingers on the distal side of the index loops take up the ulnar thumb Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Canadian Arctic Expedition (1913-1918).
