| Amazing that it survived at all in that long a time period. Hopefully, it gets restored/preserved as much as possible, and is put on display. |

It says, quote:
created at an as-yet unidentified First Nation
.
If it were indeed made by a First Nation, then it would be thousands of years old and not 250. |

| Interesting points, guys. Hopefully, the woman's relative kept records of some sort as you certainly can't go by style alone. And perhaps there is some way to date the bark used or perhaps the technique? It will be interesting to hear how they go about the process. Hopefully, there is something a little more stringent than a guess. |
