About This Book
The collections of the Field Museum of Natural History contain 128 ethnographic objects collected among the Deg Hit'an (Ingalik) Indians at Anvik, Alaska, in 1890-1892. Marcus O. Cherry assembled the collection for the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. The artifacts in this collection are described and illustrated. For comparative purposes, information is included from a previous study of Deg Hit'an material culture by Cornelius Osgood (1940) and from other relevant sources.
