British Columbia Coast 
Clubs Made of Bone of Whale 
A general type of paddle-shaped club with carved handle knob is 
found on the north Pacific coast of America, from Alaska to Columbia 
river, but chiefly on western Vancouver island where the type is most 
uniform. A specialized form of this club and handle knob, known only 
from Kamloops, is illustrated in Plate XXXVII.
