Like a dumbass I never wrote down my password and when I had to reset my computer the other day (on which I was always logged in, it logged me out. And I couldn't e-mail the admin's to get it because the e-mail I used when I registered I never used since, and it has long since shut down for inactivity. It's ok, though... you can still call me Coyote Pup  ;D

Medicinewheel,
        No name that I know of.....however McCord Museum has it now but it was transfered from the Redpath Museum (dont know where that is) and it's listed as "Aboriginal"....here are the specs:
       9.2 X 182.5 cm aged between 1880 & 1915   the materials are listed as wood, paint, skin, grass, and metal.  It looks to me that the upper limb was held together by either the sting or a removeable wrap of some kind and "allowed to "work" as the small sapling bent with the main bow....but not sure, just looks that way....also it looks like what they call skin is raw hide to me anyway.
       Thats all I know about it
