Valuable examples of these objects are called hanoolchaadi and exemplify the first phase style of simple black and white designs. For a 2011 performance piece, the artist Rebecca Belmore had Ming Hon appear on one of these objects in a snowy landscape. A wooden door was built into one of these objects called the “Witness” that toured Canada in 2019. Francis Chardon was targeted by the Arikara and Mandan people for stealing one of these objects from a deckhand on the Missouri River. Bands made from cochineal, as well as diamond and rectangle designs, appear on the “chief” type of these objects created by the Navajo. Marks called “points” indicated the size of these objects when traded for beaver pelts. During the Siege of Fort Pitt, Jeffrey Amherst suggested sending a handkerchief and these objects to Native emissaries. For 10 points, the Lenape (“luh-NAH-pay”) were given what objects formerly owned by smallpox victims? ■END■
