President Obama received this ulu in September 2016 from Denise May, Director of the Afognak Native Corporation, and Nancy Nelson, Council President of the Native Village of Port Lions located near Kodiak, AK at the 8th Annual White House Tribal Nations Conference, which brought together leaders from federally recognized tribes to Washington, D.C. This decorative ulu is made of baleen and antler on a wooden display base. Scrimshawed or carved onto the baleen is the image of an orca jumping out of the ocean. The base is made of a block of wood with a circular piece of antler and a brass support anchored at the center. The word ulu translates to “women’s knife.” Although this artifact from the Obama Presidential Collection was made as an art piece, traditionally ulus were used as all purpose knives by Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut women.
