Qiawigar, Kay Hendrickson and child in sled. Circa 1940 Mekoryuk. From Margaret Lantis' The Social Culture of the Nunivak Eskimo.
Lantis' Original Caption: "Old sled. Except for the longitudinal floor boards, this is a good example of the short old-time sled with long handlebar. These modern sled dogs refused to pull when hitched at the side in the ancient manner." (Lantis 1946 pp188-189)
