From card for E313109A and B: "Fishing bag (A) with club (B) called Halibut club. It is used to kill the fish after they are caught. [Bag is] Plain twined weaving. Materials Grass stems made into thread."
From card for E23523-46: "Dec 20, 1972, Bill Holm says that these are definitely Haida."Cultural ID for paddles E23523 - 23546 is somewhat in question. They were catalogued as Clallam, Bill Holm has identified them as Haida, but James Swan in correspondence in the accession file references 24 Bella Bella paddles.
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".From card: "4 pins. 172 [circular wooden] disks. Seem to be parts of 11 different sets. One gambling disc sent as a gift to The Hastings Museum, Hastings, Nebr., Nov. 3, 1927." These artifacts are described and discussed on pp. 253-4 of the Stick Game section of "Games of the North American Indians" by Stewart Culin, in the Bureau of American Ethnology 24th Annual Report. Culin identifies them as possibly Snohomish, but notes that it is not possible to determine the tribe exactly.
