Ted and Myna Toulouse and Mary Ann Corbiere discuss a bwe-kik (large birch storage vessel) at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington (GKS ID #25724). Ted and Myna explain that it looks like it was made from the bark of a birch tree that has second growth, that is, it had been previously harvested and the bark grew back.
