Title
Map of Frobisher Bay drawn by unidentified Inuit colleague of Franz Boas
Description
This map uses indigenous place names and handwriting that is notably different than Boas’ (and not in German), indicating that this map of the Hudson Strait (at the very southern end of Baffin Bay and on the Southern shore of Baffin Island) and notes are likely drawn and written by the unidentified Inuit colleague rather than Franz Boas.
