Yup'ik and Inuit arrows!
« on: September 16, 2009, 04:53:31 pm »
I will have some pictures of these up soon. Went to the Anchorage museum and WOW what a nice collection. Those arrows they used where really thin at the nock. The ends where usueally capped with Ivory or bone and had a toggle point attached for sea otter hunting. The other points where straight bone, copper or ground slate. Best looking set of arrows I have ever seen done. Now to replicate them!!!
