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.

Our condolance to his wife Gail, his son John and their family.

Eternal rest grant unto Don, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

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.
