Exciting update! My speculation regarding the settlement of the Americas has been validated by actual scientists. See https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-02190-y. Perhaps my theories regarding virtual intergalactic pathogens will also gain support.
This small boat is a prototype for a larger craft. It is made from Tulle grass, a once plentiful bulrush used by indigenous Californians for food and housing thatch as well as water craft. My attempts at cultural appropriations of Chumash boat building methods were a fail so I resorted to coiled basketry technique. Having launched my 24” craft with great success it has become clear that Americas were settled mostly by boat builders, not Siberians walking Jesus-like across the Bering Sea in pursuit mastodons.
