This appears to be a cedar bark mat, rather than grass as originally catalogued. In the 1980's, Jane Walsh found a label in Charles Pickering's hand: "Sts. de Fuca - A. L. Case - Ex Ex V". If this label is correct, the mat would probably be Northwest Coast, rather than Shasta.

Culture: Shasta ? or Northwest Coast Indian ?
Made in: “United States (not certain) / Canada (not certain): Washington (?) / British Columbia (?) / Oregon Territory (?) / California (?)” ?
Holding Institution: National Museum of Natural History
