Swan original tag with artifact and accession record identifies this as "Thunder Bird." Entry is garbled in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book and thus hard to read and so was mistranscribed on the catalogue card as "Thunder Reiad." - F.

Note: Locality and cultural identification in Anthropology ledger book and catalogue card list this as Haida, Cusarn Bay, Prince of Wales Archipelago, Scowallis [sic] Tribe. It may be speculated that this is actually [Chief] Skowal's [a.k.a. Skowl] tribe, Kasaan?
