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. (10[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 the Tlingit, who encountered Russian (10[1])and Aleut forces using a variant of these objects called baidarka at the Battle of Sitka. Swinomish people helped students from the University of Washington practice (10[1])racing (10[1])these objects before their 1936 Olympic gold medal. (-5[1])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[1])
