Dew Claw Rattle by James Blake
Dew claw rattle with wooden stem wrapped with plaited quillwork bands, copied from a original from the Western Great lakes, early nineteenth century. Length 29.4 cm. Housed at Muse'e d'Yverdon, Switzerland. The original wooden handle is what I believe to be a re-purposed bird arrow, this is made from hickory.

Great Lakes Styled Sable Club by Nathan Gagich
This Great Lakes styled sable club is made from a Elm root club which he dug up like the originals. He also carved into it a faux war record and associated effigies. This piece is not a copy of a original but was made in the style of the originals.
