Wesley Bliss pursuit of Arctic man and ancient traces
Professor Wesley Bliss of the University of New Mexico led a canoe expedition north from Alaska into the Sikanni and Liard basins, bearing artifacts and shell pendants. The party documented ancient trade links, used traditional tools, and observed historic slave-Indian practices among the Sikanni Nelson and Liard peoples while enduring drawn-out daylight and arduous river travel.
