Description

Bear's tooth used as charm.* One bear's tooth (5638/203) returned from Grant County Public Utility District, Wanapum Dam Heritage Center on January 25, 1995. These materials were originally sent to Grant County PUD for future exchange (see Borrower's Agreement - 1966), but the exchange papers were never drawn up. Since this material was only loaned, not deaccessioned, the Grant County PUD returned it to the Burke. (L. Phillips, 1/26/95). Perforated bear's tooth, labelled as "amulet" "charm" or "pendant." (6/95). *Information is from the original accession ledger.
