What they chiefly received for all this was caribou skins, with a few wolf and wolverine skins and, in later times, commercial furs fox, lynx, etc. Proceeding east to Barter island or its vicinity, they traded all the same kinds of articles except oil, whale skin, boats, and sealskin articles. What they chiefly received were stone lamps and stone pots from the Mackenzie people, wolf and wolverine skins and (latterly) other furs from the Mackenzie people and the Indians from south of the moun- t...ains towards the Yukon. Both the Barrow people and those of Mackenzie river brought white whale skins to sell, though the Barrow traders probab ly never had as many of these as the easterners. The purchasers must have been the Athabaskan Indians from the south and those Colville people who had come to Barter island with Siberian and Bering Straits wares. It may be inferred that the farther east the trading place was located the fewer Siberian and other far western wares were brought to it. Dr. Richardson, if memory serves, states that, in 1846, Siberian wares were not seen by him east of Point Atkin- son they had not reached Cape Bathurst.
