Awl, Carved HandleE60133-0

November 9, 1881 list in accession file lists 2 awls in the collection (called "punches"), one from Hoonia and one from Sitka. E60133 and E60134 appear to be those awls, but it is unclear which one is the one from Hoonia and which one is the one from Sitka.Illus. Fig. 40 p. 52 of Chaussonnet, Valerie. 1995.

For small illustration see Hat 114, p. 221 in Glinsmann, Dawn. 2006. Northern Northwest Coast spruce root hats. Thesis (Ph. D.)--University of Washington, 2006. The spiral start of this hat is also illustrated as Fig. 48, p. 85 in Glinsmann. She notes on p. 85: "... the weft is laid across the spoke, wrapped around the back and twisted, brought to the working surface, and twined, resulting in a spiral effect." Glinsmann also notes on p. 54-55 that this hat appears to be a work hat, of the type Frances Paul indicates "was woven of the coarsest pieces of unpolished root and undecorated save for a coating of paint as a preservative." She notes Anthropology's hat was painted green, like other work hats of this type she examined, and comments that: "Emmons asserts that the paint assists in the water repellency of this [type of] hat, which was undoubtedly worn in the worst weather (Emmons 1993, 256.) ... De Laguna states that among the Yakutat Tlingit, "In rainy weather, a conical basketry hat ... woven of spruce roots was worn. This had a sloping brim and was tied under the chin but was not otherwise described" (de Laguna 1972, 436)."

Basketwork ContainerE60235-0

FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN NM REPORT 1884, PL. VI, FIGS. 9, 10, P. 306; USNM AR 1888, FIG. 185-6, AND PL. 36, FIG. 180, P. 314; REPORT, 1902, FIG. 155; P. 426. TAG ON ARTIFACT SAYS SALISH, FRASER RIVER."See USNM AR for 1902, p. 426, where basket is identified as "procured from Sitka [sic], Alaska Indians by J.J. McLean, to which place it had doubtless drifted in trade from the Fraser River (British Columbia, Canada) Region." While the basket was actually catalogued as from "Hoonia" (i.e. Hoonah), not Sitka, the identification of the basket as Fraser River Salish type seems correct and it has been stored with that collection.
