From card for E23523-46: "Dec 20, 1972, Bill Holm says that these are definitely Haida."Cultural ID for paddles E23523 - 23546 is somewhat in question. They were catalogued as Clallam, Bill Holm has identified them as Haida, but James Swan in correspondence in the accession file references 24 Bella Bella paddles.

Hat has a partial original tag which says "Mrs. Froh..., Pacific ... , 13 & Washi...". This is presumably "Mrs. Frohman". On p. 542 of Mason, Otis T., and Frederick V. Coville. 1904.

Frohman of Portland, Oregon, who is identified as having a collection of West Coast basketry and matting. She and her collection are also mentioned starting p. 259 in James, George Wharton. 1909. Indian basketry, and How to make Indian and other baskets. New York: Malkan. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uc1.b3599575;view=1up;seq=265 ; a number of her baskets are also illustrated in this publication. On pp. 73 - 74 of Wray, Jacilee. 2012.
