| Summary: | toller n I killed a very large stag [caribou] near Shoe Hill, and whilst removing the neck skin my knife slipped and disclosed a very curious sac about five inches long and two broad; this contained growing hair on the inner skin, and the cavity was full of a mass of compressed hair soaking in a watery mucus. This skin bag was situated in a thin vellum of the inner skin in the region of the upper throat. The Indians call this little bag 'Piduateh,' and the few white men who know of its existence the "Toler" (i.e. crier or bell). PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit G.M. Story March 1961 Used I Used I Used I |
