INTERIOR – ALASKA NATIVE HERITAGE CENTER<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A replica Unangax longhouse: a single, semi-subterranean, dimly <\/em> lit room. A GUIDE of about sixteen is showing RYAN around,<\/em> explaining various artifacts of her traditional culture.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n The flap over the hole in the ceiling is made from seal intestine. It lets in the light but keeps out the cold air.<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n All right.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GUIDE indicates a large black stone.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n This is a lamp, made from volcanic rock. It burned grass and seal oil. It lit the room for four hours and kept the room warm for an additional eight hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n Cool.<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN motions toward a pointed object carved from wood.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n What’s this?<\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n That’s a… I forget the name. It starts with an A.<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN perks up, remembering something he learned from crossword puzzles.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n Is it an adze?<\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n No, this is an adze.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GUIDE picks up an adze.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n It was used to cut the steps into this log, so it could be used as a ladder.<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n Oh, I get it.<\/span><\/p>\n

The GUIDE picks up the pointy thing RYAN had asked about before.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n This was used to throw spears–<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN’s eyes widen again.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN<\/span>
\n Is it an atlatl?<\/span><\/p>\n

GUIDE<\/span>
\n Yeah, that’s it!<\/span><\/p>\n

RYAN freaks out about how cool atlatls are for the next several days.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
