38 reactions | Athabascan Snowshoes traditionally a primary source of travel in the interior during winter. This was especially true when encountering deep snow when a hunter tracks a moose that is itself in soft deep snow up to its belly. The snowshoe evenly spreads out the weight of the hunter/traveler keeping them buoyant above the deep snow. These snowshoes were made by Moses Henzie, Koyukon Athabascan. #ANHC #culturaltourism | Alaska Native Heritage Center | Facebook

The birch bark basket was and is important to the Athabascan people of the interior. The birch bark, spruce root and moose bone are used to create the birch bark basket as a storage container and even for cooking. #ANHC #CulturalTourism | Alaska Native Heritage Center
