The Bruce Collection of Eskimo material culture from Port Clarence, Alaska

The Bruce Port Clarence collection must be included among the significant assemblages of nineteenth-century Alaskan Eskimo material culture in American and European museums. The Bruce collection is sufficiently varied so that items of material culture can be described and discussed within the following use categories: sea and land hunting, fishing, tools and manufactures, household equipment, clothing, transportation, ceremonial equipment, personal adornment, smoking complex, toys and models, and raw materials.
