Halibut-HookE72625-0

Note re provenience: Juneau had two names, Harrisburg and Rockwell, before December 1881, when it was named for Joseph Juneau. A handwritten note in the accession file states: "Auk Indians, Harrisburg, Alaska. Mainland. 160 miles N. W.B. Lord." A second note seems to state (handwriting is hard to read): "Halibut hook. Harrisburg Aleut. W.B. Lord." The halibut hook has been catalogued as Auk Tlingit. It is unclear if the Aleut reference in the note in the accession file indicates that it may actually be Aleut?
