THIS STYLE IS BORROWED BY THE NORTHERN INDIANS AND WORN BY THEM IN THEIR CEREMONIALS, BUT NOT WITH THE SAME SIGNIFICANCE AS IN THE SOUTH."Anthropology catalogue ledger book identifies E20849, 20850 and 20910 as original number 70, and lists as Koutznow [i.e. Hutsnuwu Tlingit], Admiralty Island, Alaska. List in accession file identifies no people or locality for original # 70. The old exhibit labels for E20910 have conflicting locality information, with one saying Admiralty Island, and the other Fort Wrangell.
From card: "Re-entered - mistake."Note: This object most likely was accessioned under either Accession number 1310 or 1499, both of which consist of artifacts collected by Thomas T. Minor in 1868. Someone has pencilled Accession number 1310 on the catalogue card for this object, and object appears to match description of an object on one of Minor's lists filed in Accession 1310.Florence Sheakley, Ruth Demmert, and Virginia Oliver made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This object is either a collar or headband and features a salmon design. It is possible that this object is primarily a collar that could also be used as a headband.
