HAS CATALOG CARD.

FOUND IN THE COLLECTIONS WITHOUT A MUSEUM CATALOGUE NUMBER. GIVEN # ET666-0 FOR TRACKING PURPOSES. JANE WALSH FEELS THAT THIS OBJECT MAY WELL BE CATALOGUE # E2555 (PEALE # 318), WHICH WOULD MAKE IT A WILKES/U.S. EXPLORING EXPEDITION PIECE. JANE NOTES THAT IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER NORTHWEST COAST CEDAR BARK BLANKETS OR CAPES WHICH STILL HAVE WILKES CATALOGUE NUMBERS. PEALE # 315 - 318 ARE IDENTIFIED IN THE PEALE CATALOGUE AS "DRESSES WORN BY THE WOMEN OF THE CLASSET [MAKAH] TRIBE OF NATIVES, NORTH WEST COAST OF AMERICA, THEY ARE MADE OF BARK."From T number card: "Nootkan?, Br. Col. - Wash. Terr.. Duck down trim."

From card: "3 pieces."Provenience note: many objects in the Chirouse collection were catalogued as Duwamish, however that really only seems to definitively apply to Catalogue No. 130965. Accession record indicates that the collection is the "handiwork of the Snohomish, Swinomish, Lummi, Muckleshoot and Etakmur Indians on the Tulalip Reservation in Washington Territory".

Goes with model boat, catalog number E72936.

All 3 paddles are marked Makah, and one is also marked "W.T." (i.e. Washington Territory). These paddles are probably the ones listed on Swan invoice # 4 in accession file, where they are called #95, "3 paddles for the small canoe shipped in October." The canoe referred to as shipped in October is probably Makah canoe E74202, so these paddles may belong to that canoe, or Swan may have acquired them for display with that canoe?
