Question

Haida warriors used rope tied to stone rings to destroy these objects. The “Ti’at Society” preserves a tradition of creating these objects traditionally formed by a “brotherhood” of the Chumash (“CHOO-mosh”) people, called (-5[1])a tomol. (-5[1])A 2005 study by Klar and Jones used linguistic evidence to claim that these objects were brought to California by Hawaiians. “Pullers” used ax̱áa (“uh-KHAH”) to maneuver these objects among (-5[1])the Tlingit, who encountered Russian and Aleut (10[1])forces (10[1])using a variant of these objects called baidarka at the Battle (10[1])of Sitka. (10[1])Swinomish people (-5[1])helped students from the University of Washington practice racing these objects before their 1936 Olympic gold medal. Protrusions for stability were not included in the Native Californian “dugout” type of these objects. For 10 points, Native Hawaiians used “outrigger” examples of what seafaring vessels? ■END■ (10[3]0[1])
