Notes
LEDGER SAYS SENT TO GEORGE HEYE, NEW YORK, 1908.Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies this object as Chilcat. It appears that Chilcat may be meant as a place name in this collection, perhaps not specifically or exclusively as a culture name, similar to the way other objects in the collection are identified as Sitka, Kootzahoo, and Hoonyah. Chilcat/Chilkat is a name sometimes used for Klukwan.
