Old label nailed to artifact says: "Boy's Bird-Spear. Made by an Indian boy of 9 years." Makah is written on object.

From card: "Sapling - 3 years growth. Made by an indian boy. Knot was tied in a fir sprout by Charley [sic], youngest son of Duke of York, Chief of the Clallam Indians at Port Townsend. Knot was tied three years ago. This shows growth during that period. May 31, 1882. Jas. G. Swan.""Duke of York" is a name that was applied to Chetzemoka/Cheetsamahoin/Cheech-Ma-Ham (1808 - 1888), a Klallam chief. His younger son was called Charlie Swan York.

From card: "Forehead band worked with cotton cord and worsteds [wool]; line of frayed rope braided."

Attributed to U.S. Exploring Expedition/Wilkes collection on the catalogue card, however Jane Walsh doubts that attribution as no Peale number has been identified for this object. Second copy of Anthropology catalogue ledger book has "Clallam Indians, Wash." penciled in as a possible identification sometime post cataloguing by an unknown person.
