The original European tribal names and, where possible, current tribal names have both been given in separate GLT fields.; Before the arrival of silver (approx. 1798) on the coast copper, brass and iron were worked and worn as bracelets, necklaces and anklets. It is possible this bracelet, together with E 1910.35 and E 1910.36 are from this earlier period. In the nineteenth century such bracelets were the standard medium of potlatch payments among the Kwakiutl (G. Crowther).
