FROM CARD: "ILLUS. IN USNM AR 1888, PL. 22, FIG. 86; P. 278. ILLUS.: HNDBK. N. AMER. IND., VOL. 7, NORTHWEST COAST, FIG.11, PG. 2." FROM CARD: "STONE SLEDGE.---HANDLE OF WOOD, HEAD OF BASALT, WITH LASHING OF SPRUCE ROOT. KAIGANI INDIANS (SKITTAGETAN STOCK), PRINCE OF WALES ISLAND, ALASKA. 20,893. COLLECTED BY JAMES G. SWAN." SEE PROCESSING LAB ACCESSION FILE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. See p. 206-207 in Wright, Robin Kathleen. 2001. Northern Haida master carvers. Seattle: University of Washington Press. Wright identifies this object as having been collected by James G. Swan from Duncan ginaawaan at Klinkwan in 1875.

Records in the SI Archives of the Office of Distribution say 1 of 2 colymbus skins with this number was transferred to Copenhagen, Denmark in 1867. Not clear where the other skin went, or what the relationship is with the painted wooden items currently found in the collection.

From card: "Clam shell sharpened at wide end."

Appears to be a halibut hook and line? Carved arm of hook is carved in the form of a halibut. Note: Cultural and locality identification in Anthropology catalogue card and ledger book lists this as Scowallis [sic] Tribe of Haida Indians, Prince of Wales Archipelago. It may be speculated that "Scowallis Tribe" is actually [Chief] Skowal's [a.k.a. Skowl] tribe, i.e. Kasaan or Howkan?

Pipes E60200 - E60204, which do not have original numbers listed in the Anthropology catalogue ledger book, have been presumed to be from Hoonia/Hoonah by the person who typed the catalogue cards, based on the original artifact list in the accession file.

FROM CARD: "SUSPENDED WARP WEAVING FOR COMMERCIAL USE; FRINGED AT BOTTOM. BORDER BANDS IN WHITE, BLACK, AND YELLOW; LARGE CENTRAL PANEL IN BLACK WITH DECORATIVE DETAILS IN YELLOW, LIGHT BLUE, BLACK AND WHITE EACH OUTLINED WITH DOUBLE CORDONNET IN WHITE. WARP OF CEDAR BARK IN TWO-PLY TWIST INTERTWINED WITH WOOL OF MOUNTAIN SHEEP; WEFT TWINING OF WOOL OF MOUNTAIN GOAT (?). BADLY DAMAGED BY INSECTS."This robe is in poor condition, but appears to have a yellow and blue checkerboard "signature" at the bottom left and right corners. Per Clarissa (Hudson) Rizal, Tlingit artist/weaver, 2006, this resembles the signature used by her teacher Chilkat weaver Jennie Thlunaut (1892-1986).Shgen George, weaver, made the following comments during the Tlingit Recovering Voices Community Research Visit, March 13-March 24, 2017. This blanket has a killer whale design, based on the fins, and there are flickerbird feather designs on the garment as well. Shgen says that it is common to see blue and green at the corners and they are not necessarily a weaver's 'signature.' The heading cord at the top is thin, which is unusual, and this one is broken. The fringe has remnants of blue in it, and is hand spun, but with commercial dye.
