Notes
Ruth Demmert, Alan Zuboff, and Linda Wynne made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24. The design on this drum is not Tlingit and the elders commented they had not seen anything like it before. The handle and design of this object is unusual in comparison to similar Tlingit made objects.This is definitely not Tlingit and looks like a fake.Catalog card says Tlingit, but multiple sources have confirmed that it is not. Origin unknown, possibly "fake".
