A Seal's Kidneys The Coronation gulf Eskimos call this figure natcim taktua, "the kidney of a seal," or more simply taktoyyuk. Really there are two kidneys. The move- ments are similar to those of many other figures. Opening A. With the thumbs on the distal side of the other strings take up the radial little finger strings. With the backs of the middle fingers from the distal side push out the ulnar thumb strings. Katilluik the distal radial thumb loops, then over the middle finger strings take up the ulnar little finger string (the lower transverse string) from the proximal side and navaho the thumbs. Pass the thumbs over the index strings and on the proximal side of the radial middle finger string take up the ulnar middle finger string with their backs and navaho the thumbs. Drop the httle finger loops and on the proximal side of all the strings remove from the proximal side the thumb loops to the little fingers. Pass the thumbs from the proximal side into the index loops and draw through with them the radial middle finger string. Drop the index and middle finger loops. You have "the two ;. Fig. 97 LXX. The ScuLPiN =/caney^Tj/wfc (Coronation gulf) This is apparently the figure seen by Stefansson in Dolphin and Union strait, where it was called kannaheryuk. His Mackenzie native recognized it as kannayok (Anthrop. Papers, Am. Museum of Natural History, Vol. XIV, Pt. 1, 1914, p. 246). Opening A. Drop the thumb loops. With the thumbs from the proximal side lift up the two diagonal strings, then, pressing down with their palms the upper transverse string, raise with their backs the lower transverse string; finally, on the distal side of all the strings draw the radial index strings through their loops, thereby navahoing the thumbs. With the palms of the little fingers draw down and through the little finger loops the sec
