Basketry Cradle Item Number: E209940-0 from the National Museum of Natural History
Notes
From card: "Old twined basket stretched around a hoop of wood; oval in shape."In letter dated April 17, 1901 in accession file, Emmons identifies this object as from Killisnoo. However, he also identifies Killisnoo as on Admiralty Island, but Killisnoo is on Killisnoo Island; it is Angoon which is on Admiralty Island. Because of this confusion, and because of the fact that Killisnoo and Angoon are only 2 miles apart, it is unclear whether this object was collected at Killisnoo or Angoon.
