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 a tomol. A 2005 study (10[1])by Klar (-5[1])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 (10[1])the Tlingit, who encountered Russian and Aleut forces using a variant of these objects called baidarka at the Battle (-5[1])of Sitka. Swinomish people helped students from the University of Washington practice racing these objects before their 1936 (-5[2])Olympic gold medal. (10[1])Protrusions for stability (10[1])were not included in the Native (-5[1])Californian “dugout” type of these (10[1])objects. (10[2])For 10 points, Native Hawaiians used “outrigger” examples of what seafaring vessels? (0[1])■END■ (10[3])
