Notes

FROM CARD: "ANTIQUE. 4/18/1967: LOANED TO VANCOUVER A. G.; 12/13/1967 RETURNED BY VANCOUVER."Shgen George, weaver, Shirley Kendall, elder, and Florence Sheakley, elder, made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This blanket does not feature a diving whale design, which is different from other similar blankets in the collection. This design features a creature with an ear and claws. The splitting in this blanket as it degrades is where the drawstrings were that the weaver used to draw together the stitches. This blanket had side braids that are no longer present.
