NOTE: On 21 May 1925, Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth (an American who financed the expedition), along with two pilots (one of whom was Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen) and two mechanics, took off from Spitsbergen, on the Svalbard Archipelago, Norway, bound for Alaska, with the goal of being the first men to fly over the North Pole. Both planes were forced to land some 150 km from the Pole, where one plane had to be abandoned. Riiser-Larsen managed to fly all six men aboard the remaining plane to Nordaustlandet, another island in the Svalbard Archipelago, where all were rescued from the sea and returned to Norway. Although the expedition failed in its goal, it generated great interest in polar exploration, and the following year, Amundsen, Ellsworth and others successfully flew over the North Pole.

Materials Wood; Sinew, Marine mammal (seal?) skin; Commercial paint
Description Pair of adult-sized snowshoes whose wooden frames are made of two pieces that are painted red and steamed and bent to shape, overlapping on the distal end where they are overwrapped with sinew; Each shoe is fitted with three cross-braces and the central portion of each shoe is woven with very heavy laces of an unidentified sea mammal (most likely seal), both for the shoe itself and the foot lacings; The proximal and distal portions of each shoe are carefully woven with thin sinew strands in a small diamond pattern; A total of six small tufts of red wool and possibly wolf (?) hair are attached to each shoe (2 at distal end where the frames overlap and 2 each on the distal and proximal sections of sinew webbing); Woven sinew portions are also painted with red geometric pattern; The fact that the holes in the wooden frames through which the sinew and hide lacings pass are rather carelessly made and the use of red commercial paint instead of ochre suggests some commercial influence in the manufacture of these shoes, as opposed to those made exclusively for native use.

Description Very large and deep round basket with flat base and widely flaring sides, woven in coiled technique over 3-rod foundation; Designs are in red bud and consist of 4 serrated zigzags that spiral from base to rim; Traces of red wood throughout the basket (other than in design) indicate that primary weft material is peeled redbud rather than willow; Overall shape of this basket is similar to that of a cooking basket as well as of a cremation basket, but its size is many times larger than either, suggesting this was probably commissioned by a private collector solely for display purposes.

Small traces of whitish bird feathers are embedded within the string wrappings of the repaired outermost bone point, indicating this spear was used for bird hunting rather than fishing.

Materials Commercially woven muslin cloth; Commercial pigments
Description Sandpainting memory aid in the form of a partial image from a sand painting drawn and painted on a rectangular piece of white muslin cloth; Image is taken from the Navajo Male Shootingway Chant and depicts the sacred Buffalo People, shown here in the form of stylized buffalos with human-like heads; The body of each buffalo is painted in one of the four sacred directional colors of white, black, blue, or yellow; Traditionally, Navajo medicine men would draw images like this in small notebooks or on pieces of paper or cloth and carry these in their medicine bundles to remind them of a sandpainting’s many details when the complete image was being drawn for actual use during a ceremony; NOTE: Tyrone Campbell, from whom this was purchased by the donor, dated this piece to ca. 1940s. However, similar pieces were also produced by several individuals in the 1970s and 1980s, and were often purposely “distressed” to make them appear older than they were. This particular example is so carefully drawn and colored that it seems unlikely that a traditional medicine man drew it.

Materials Metal: Sterling silver; Ivory
Description Contemporary design pin in the form of a sterling silver circular spiral, overlaid by a shaft of ivory set in a plain silver bezel; The ivory shaft is notched at one end, tapers at the other end, and passes through the center of the spiral; This pin is mostly likely inspired by the “Sun Dagger” petroglyph on Fajada Butte at Chaco Canyon, a spiral petroglyph purposely positioned by the canyon’s ancient inhabitants so that a shaft of light passes through its center on the summer solstice. (Sometime in the 1990s, the rocks shifted slightly, so the shaft of light no longer falls directly across the spiral). Sterling silver pin is attached to back, so that when worn, the shell shaft is positioned vertically, pointing down; Mike Bird-Romero’s hallmark of 2 birds is partially stamped on reverse.

Description Rectangular rug woven primarily in plain weft-faced tapestry technique, with extensive “raised outline” technique employed along edges of most geometric design elements and motifs; Extremely complex design consists of several diamond shapes in center, and all remaining areas filled with smaller motifs, with the edges on each outlined with a “raised outline,” accomplished by weaving the weft over two warps instead of just one; Entire design field is woven on a background of alternating narrow blue and gray vertical stripes,but within each design motif, the gray vertical stripes are replaced with a different color; Four narrow borders frame the rug along all four edges, with each one also following the dual color scheme of narrow blue stripes alternating with those of a different color; Beginning from the interior, the borders are rose and blue, then dark gray and blue, next is white and blue, and the outermost border is medium gray and blue; Each of the borders are straight-edged along the top and bottom; Along the sides, the three inner borders are zigzags, while the outermost border is a series of paired right triangles; Selvage and end cords are pale blue. This style of rug developed from the Raised Outline style that originated in the Coal Mine Mesa area of the western Navajo Reservation. Later, most of the residents of that area were relocated to tribal lands near Sanders, AZ, and the style became known as the “New Lands” style. It is primarily an adaptation of the Teec Nos Pos style design, woven in pastel colors typical of the Sanders and Burntwater areas.
