Spoons "Flanks" (2) Item Number: E130988-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
From card: "Relics [sic] of Napoleon, Skokomish Chief." Note that accession record entry on these artifacts identifies Napoleon as Snohomish.Catalogue card records these as called "Flanks", however this word looks more like "Tlanks" in Anthropology Catalogue ledger book. Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".
