<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 913471, member: 5833&quot;]Glad to have your insights too.&nbsp; Apologies to Jeff again, an ethnographic question.&nbsp; How are you &amp; Mark using the term &#039;Alaskan&#039;; what are some examples of peoples who would be considered Alaskan but not Inuit?</p><p><br /></p><p>As for bobcat v. lynx, the scientific name of the bobcat is <i>Lynx rufus</i>.&nbsp; The colored area on the map is the year-round range.&nbsp; They move farther north in the summer.&nbsp; But that was the intent behind my question, whether or not they are an animal with enough importance to the Inuit to figure in their art.&nbsp; Would love to have some idea of the origin of this piece &amp; a bear bought at the same time that may also be tusk.&nbsp; Trying to make the most of the few clues I have.&nbsp; Thanks to both of you again.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
